Gold prices steady as US private jobs grow more than expected in September

The US private sector added 90,000 jobs in September, surpassing expectations of 73,000, signaling resilience in the labor market. Job gains were led by education, health care, leisure, and hospitality sectors. This stronger-than-expected employment data put some downward pressure on gold prices, which remained roughly flat at $1,184.40 an ounce. The report suggests continued economic strength, which could influence Federal Reserve interest rate decisions and impact gold's appeal as a safe haven.

The story on gold and US private-sector job growth provides context for market activity on Pluang as of Sep 30, 2026 18:52 WIB. Among 150 US stocks priced on Pluang, 78 rose and 57 fell today. Notable movers include HOOD at USD 120.56 with an 85% buy order activity, BA at USD 191.80 gaining 2.20%, and UMC at USD 24.22 declining 2.02%.
