Gold extended a decline after plunging below $1,700 an ounce last week, as strong US jobs data intensified concerns that the Federal Reserve will remain aggressive with rate hikes. The metal came under pressure from the stronger dollar Monday amid weak risk sentiment in equity markets. Relentless Fed policy tightening has weighed on the asset through the year, causing a 19% plunge from its year-high in March. The precious metal last week had its largest weekly gain since July, though trimmed the advance after nonfarm payrolls data on Friday showed… Read More Here

Bullion has now extended its first weekly gain in three, as lower bond rates boosted the appeal of the non-interest-bearing asset. Investors remained on edge about the impact of aggressive interest rate hikes after a slew of Federal Reserve officials last week re-emphasized their resolve to fight inflation. Traders will now look to US jobs data due on Friday for more clues on the future path of central bank monetary policy. That means bullion could be in for more volatility, with strong numbers potentially spurring further gains in bond yields… Read More Here

Gold started 2022 well, but the recent months were pretty awful. What will it be in the final quarter of the year? Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the final quarter of the year! What were the first nine months of 2022 for the gold market? Well, in Q1 there was an impressive rally in gold, with the yellow metal staying above $2,000 for a while.
