Gold Extends Its Rally | Eyes a Break Above $4,270
📊 Market Overview:
Spot gold (XAU/USD) is currently trading around $4,261/oz, maintaining its bullish momentum as the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields weaken. Safe-haven demand continues to support prices while investors await the U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report for clues on the Federal Reserve's next policy move. A weaker-than-expected jobs report could provide further upside for gold.
