■ Gold Records Largest Quarterly Decline in 13 Years… U.S. Labor Market as Key Variable Gold has recently recorded its largest quarterly decline in 13 years, drawing market attention. The key variable that will determine the future trend is the U.S. labor market. The recently announced U.S. unemployment rate for June came in at 4.2%, and non-farm sector employment increased by only 57,000 compared to the previous month. Attention is focused on how the weak employment figures will influence future base interest rate decisions.

Market attention is closely focused on what direction gold prices will take in the new trading week following the weekend.
