Economists were expecting an additional 258,000 new jobs added last month. The Labor Department\u2019s report revealed that the U.S. economy has had robust job growth last month adding over 500,000 jobs in July. <\/p>\n<p>The exceedingly strong numbers of the report diminished concerns about the United States entering a recession. While this optimistic report bodes well for economic growth, it certainly does not address inflation.<\/p>\n<p>However, it does change market sentiment which had been intensely focused on the last two GDP reports. On July 28 the government released the advance estimate of the second quarter GDP. The report revealed that the GDP had decreased at an annual rate of 0.9% during the second quarter of 2022. <\/p>\n<div align=\"center\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;margin-top: 10px;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I-RS3FnholY\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Earlier this year the BEA reported a decrease in the first quarter GDP of 1.6%.

The dollar gained 0.8% which is equal to Thursday\u2019s decline. Gold gave up roughly half of the $30 gain Thursday declining by $14.50 on Friday. As of 6:25 PM EDT on Friday, gold futures basis the most active December contract was fixed at $1792.40. <\/p>\n<p>Spot or physical gold lost $15.57 and was fixed at $1776.40 according to the Kitco Gold Index. On closer inspection, the KGX revealed that $13.60 of Friday\u2019s decline of was a direct result of dollar strength, and a fractional decline of $1.20 was the result of traders bidding gold fractionally lower.<\/p>\n<p>Gold futures closed above $1800 Thursday and the 50-day moving average was significant, however, very short-lived. It is also less likely that we will see gold recover quickly in that Friday\u2019s jobs report strengthens the resolve of the Federal Reserve to raise rates by another 75 basis points in September. <\/p>\n<p>This will also be highly supportive of the U.S. dollar as we saw in trading today.<\/p>\n<p>According to Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC markets, \u201cToday\u2019s labor market report is bad news for gold bulls, with next week\u2019s CPI report the next key test,\u201d the bearish sentiment reflected in the above quote was a common theme amongst other analysts.<\/p>\n<div class='mailmunch-forms-widget-1089216'><\/div>\n<p>Bart Melek, head of commodity strategies at TD Securities said, \u201cGold had recently rallied on the thought that the Fed will shift from hawkish to dovish.
