by anna

The gold market has maintained robust gains above a critical resistance threshold, buoyed by ongoing challenges in the U.S. labor market as initial unemployment claims remain stubbornly high.

According to the Labor Department’s latest report on Thursday, initial claims for state unemployment benefits edged up by 4,000 to 238,000 for the week ending June 29, aligning with economists’ expectations. The data underscores ongoing difficulties in the labor market despite broader economic indicators.
