Gold price pops back over $5,000, then trims gains as U.S. jobs data dents March cut bets

Gold climbed Wednesday, though gains faded after a robust U.S. jobs report dampened hopes for a quick Fed rate cut. Spot gold was last up 0.7% at $5,058.23 an ounce as of 11:28 a.m. ET, pulling back from an earlier high of $5,118.47. Year to date, the metal’s up 17.5%. April U.S. gold futures advanced 1% to $5,081.90. Spot silver rallied 3.1% to $83.04; platinum and palladium nudged higher as well. “The jobs report will shut the tiny crack in the door for a March rate cut,” said independent metals trader Tai Wong.
