MCX Gold, Silver Move North On June US Employment Report
MCX Gold Futures Reclaimed the ₹1.48 lakh Mark
MCX Gold Futures reclaimed the Rs 1.48 lakh mark, hitting an intraday high of Rs 1,48,046 per 10 grams before stabilizing around Rs 1,47,845 (up 1.43%). Spot Gold (Global) surged by 1.5% to trade at $4,185 per ounce, rapidly closing in on the $4,200 level.
MCX Silver Futures zoomed up by Rs 4,457 or 1.91% to trade near Rs 2,37,761 per kg, after touching an intraday high of Rs 2,38,216 per kg. Spot Silver (Global) climbed more than 2.3% to trade comfortably above $62 per ounce.
The primary catalyst behind the bullish reversal was the June US employment report, which indicated a cooling US economy.
Nonfarm Payrolls: The US added just 57,000 jobs in June—the lowest hiring momentum in four months—well below the market expectation of 110,000 jobs.
Unemployment Rate: The rate edged down from 4.3% to 4.2%. However, economists noted that the decline was largely due to a weaker labour force participation rate, which fell to 61.5%, rather than stronger hiring activity.
Sectoral Shifts: Professional and business services (+36,000) and healthcare (+22,000) led job gains, while the leisure and hospitality sector recorded a sharp decline of 61,000 jobs.
