Gold prices remain steady, hovering near the middle of their daily range after weaker-than-expected U.S. labour market data signalled further economic uncertainty. The latest jobless claims report showed more Americans filing for unemployment benefits than economists had predicted, reinforcing expectations of a slowing economy.
Earlier in the day, gold continued to hit new highs in global currency markets, particularly against the British pound, after the Bank of England’s third rate cut in this easing cycle weakened sterling. With central banks maintaining strong demand for gold and global economic uncertainty mounting, the longer-term outlook for the yellow metal remains positive.
But with headlines warning of gold shortages, should investors be concerned?
