Online reported that gold experienced temporary pressure on the previous trading day after non-farm payrolls data showed that the U.S. economy created jobs significantly more than expected and the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell. However, XS.com analyst Linh Tran said in a report that the report did not indicate that the economy was overheating, but rather showed a relatively stable growth rate. Tran said that wasn't enough to force the Fed to rethink its wait-and-see stance on monetary policy, which is why gold prices didn't fall further.
