Gold futures inched higher yet again Thursday for a tenth straight winning session.

There was little reaction to the day’s economic news, including a relatively upbeat prelude to Friday’s monthly jobs report from the Labor Department.

Feb. gold climbed $3.10, or 0.2%, to settle at $1,321.60/oz

ADP said private sector employment in the U.S. jumped by much more than expected in the month of December. Payrolls surged up by 250,000 jobs after climbing by a downwardly revised 185,000 jobs in November.

Economists had expected an increase of about 190,000 jobs, matching the job growth originally reported for the previous month.
