The price of gold declined yesterday after the US announced that 497,000 new jobs were created in June 2023, surpassing market expectations of 267,000. This news led to a significant appreciation of the USD and a decrease in the 2-year US bond interest rate from 5.12% to 5.04%. As a result, many investors shifted their capital into USD and bonds, reducing the flow of money into gold.
The consecutive decline in gold prices can be attributed to the strong labor market data and positive economic outlook, which alleviated concerns of a severe recession in the US. Additionally, the possibility of higher wages may compel the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to implement positive monetary policies and raise interest rates.
