Gold Finds Support as Soft ADP payrolls Sustain Fed Rate-Hike Bets

Gold steadied near $4,335/oz after ADP reported August private payrolls rose only 38,000—a softer pace than expected and the slowest since January—raising questions about the U.S. labor market. The data keeps odds of a Sept. 16 Federal Reserve rate hike around 60%+ and fuels debate on policy, with some analysts saying weaker hiring could be supportive for gold if rate-hike expectations ease, while others caution that the upcoming NFP data will be decisive. Wage growth cooled modestly for workers changing jobs, while pay for those staying held at 3% annually. Overall, limited buying interest in gold persists despite the softer data, as traders weigh the risk of higher rates against gold’s appeal as a hedge.

The moves come amid ongoing Middle East tensions and shifting energy and labor data.

"Market Surge: ADP Payrolls and GDP Revision Propel SP500"

US stocks, including the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow, rose slightly following a soft ADP payrolls gain and a downward revision of Q2 economic growth. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was up 0.7%, while the S&P 500 and Dow were up 0.5% and 0.4% respectively. The ADP report showed private payrolls up 175K, lower than expected, but had little impact on rates. The market rally on Tuesday was driven by weak economic data, including a slump in job openings and a drop in consumer confidence, which reduced expectations of further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Revised Q2 GDP numbers were also lower than expected.
