Gold (XAU/USD) prices recovered from hitting a one-and-a-half-week low during the Asian session on Friday and climbed to an intraday high, above $2,640 levels in the last hour.
However, any meaningful appreciating move seems elusive ahead of the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report, which will be closely watched for the outlook on US interest rates and provide a fresh impetus to the non-yielding bullion. Despite this, the commodity remains on track for a second straight weekly decline.
The closely watched US jobs data will guide the Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers in their next monetary policy decision later this month, which in turn will boost the US Dollar (USD) and provide some meaningful impetus to the non-yielding Gold prices.
Meanwhile, expectations that the US central bank will take a cautious stance on cutting interest rates, amid expectations that US President-elect Donald Trump's policies could reignite inflation, turned out to be a key factor undermining the XAU/USD.
