Gold & Silver Breaks Down



Gold prices fell on Friday after the U.S. government reported that the economy picked up more jobs than expected in May, which strengthened the dollar.


Gold and the dollar tend to trade inversely with one another.


On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures for August delivery were down 2.68% at USD1,377.85 a troy ounce in U.S. trading on Friday, up from a session low of USD1,377.35 and down from a high of USD1,417.45 a troy ounce.


Gold futures were likely to test support USD1,374.75 a troy ounce, the low from May 28, and resistance at USD1,423.25, Thursday's high.


The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported earlier that the U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs in May, beating expectations for an increase of 170,000 and up from the 149,000 jobs created in April.


The headline U.S. unemployment rate ticked up to 7.6% last month from 7.5% in April, and even though analysts were expecting the unemployment rate to remain unchanged, markets applauded the data and took up dollar positions.


The data bolstered the dollar by allaying concerns that the Federal Reserve will keep monetary stimulus programs in place for longer than once anticipated, including its USD85 billion bond-buying program that weakens the greenback to spur recovery, making gold an attractive hedge.


The Fed has said it will pay close attention to the labor market when deciding on monetary policy.


Elsewhere on the Comex, silver for July delivery was down 4.29% at USD21.733 a troy ounce, while copper for July delivery was down 1.58% and trading at USD3.267 a pound.

Budget 2018: Mega health plan to cost Rs 1 lakh crore

The paper's estimate is 10 times higher than the one made last week by Niti Aayog adviser Alok Kumar, who had said that the National Health Protection Scheme (NHPS) will cost around Rs 10,000-12,000 crore annually. National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) Assistant Professor Mita Choudhury said in the paper -- 'The National Health Protection Scheme in the Union  Budget 2018 : Is it in the Right Direction?' -- that resource requirements for implementing NHPS are likely to be very high. Not only would such a scheme impose a heavy burden on both the Union and the states' exchequers, it will also curtail states' autonomy to design their own policies in a sector that is constitutionally ma...
