Gold price slips from $5,000-plus as stocks rally; US payrolls, inflation loom

Gold price slips from $5,000-plus as stocks rally; US payrolls, inflation loom

Gold slipped 0.5% to $5,040.47 an ounce by 0900 GMT, cooling off after last week’s record high of $5,594.82 from Jan. 29. April U.S. gold futures were also down, shedding 0.3% to $5,062.60. A firmer dollar, up 0.1%, and renewed strength in global equities—particularly as Tokyo extended gains following Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s victory—dampened safe-haven interest. “The return of risk appetite has weighed on gold prices,” said ActivTrades analyst Ricardo Evangelista.

Brent crude price steadies near $68 after Iran talks; traders eye U.S. data this week

Brent crude hovered just above $68 a barrel on Monday, holding steady after the U.S. and Iran decided to extend indirect talks—a move that calmed near-term supply jitters. Indian refiners pulling back from Russian seaborne crude has been lending support to prices as well. By 1044 GMT, Brent was up 17 cents at $68.22, a 0.3% gain. U.S. West Texas Intermediate added 18 cents to $63.73, also up 0.3%. SEB’s Bjarne Schieldrop commented, “The Iranian risk premium cannot be fully defused as long as U.S. warships are located where they are.”
