Gold prices fell on Friday due to higher-than-expected US jobs data which led to an increase in Treasury yields. However, gold still experienced a weekly gain due to high unemployment rates indicating that the Federal Reserve may pause interest rate hikes. Currently, traders anticipate that there is a 70% chance of the Fed leaving rates unchanged later this month. The rise in interest rates lifts Treasury yields, making gold less attractive since gold has zero-interest yield. Silver prices also fell, while platinum and palladium experienced weekly losses.
