Gold futures clung to the biggest one-day progress in more than three weeks as US jobs data that traced analysts estimates numbed speculation the Federal Reserve will escalate the pace of stimulus reduction.
Bullion to be delivered immediately settled at $1,302.22 per ounce at 11:25 a.m. in Singapore from $1,303.50 on April 4, when the metal rose 1.3%, the most since March 12. Gold is up 8.4% this year, recovering from the worst annual plunge since 1981, as Russia’s takeover of Crimea bolstered haven demand.
Last week, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said the slack in labor markets reflected obliging policies will still be needed for some time, while Fed Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard indicated slowing inflation might prod policy makers to postpone tapering.
Yellen ignited gold’s diminution to $1,277.79 on April 1, the lowest since February 11, following the Fed Chair said the central bank might conclude the bond-buying program this fall and increase borrowing costs six months after that.
Gold to be delivered in June was set at $1,302.80 per ounce on the Comex in New York from $1,303.50 on April 4, when futures climbed 1.5%. SPDR Gold Trust assets tumbled 809.18 metric tons on April 4, the least since March 7.
Silver to be delivered immediately dropped 0.5% to $19.8633 per ounce and was at $19.9195. Platinum erased 0.3% to $1,446.50 per ounce, breaking a six-day winning stretch that was the longest since February. Palladium went up 0.1% to $790.98 per ounce, slated for a seventh day of profits, the longest run in a month.
