Gold rallies 1% on weak August payrolls5 Sep 2025 14:05
Gold soared to a new record high of $3,582 per ounce on Friday after the latest US jobs report showed sharply weaker-than-expected hiring.
The US Labor Department reported that only 22,000 jobs were added in August, missing the forecast of 75,000 by a wide margin. The numbers could prompt the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy.
By 8:38 am ET, gold traded at $3,582.82 an ounce, up 1.02%. Silver increased 1.29% to sell for $41.21 per ounce, while platinum was up 1.24% a minute later, trading for $1,395.88 per ounce. At the same time, palladium decreased 0.40%, selling for $1,109.93 per ounce.
