Gold Holds Critical Support as Fed-Hike Odds Hover at 66%

Spot gold trades near $4,328 after testing the $4,311 zone as strong oil prices and a bond selloff lift yields, keeping September rate-hike odds around 66%. Global stocks retreat and the dollar firms ahead of key payrolls data (ADP, claims, ISM services, August payrolls). Technically, immediate resistance sits near $4,450 and $4,532, with support at $4,329 and $4,311; a cooler payrolls report could ease the hawkish path for rates and support gold, while stronger data could push yields and the dollar higher, pressuring bullion.
