Gold prices, tracked by GLDM, surged about 7% in August following a disappointing July jobs report that lowered expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes. The report showed a slight decline in nonfarm payrolls and a small drop in unemployment, prompting traders to anticipate earlier rate cuts. This shift reduced real yields, making gold more attractive as it pays no interest and benefits when real yields fall. GLDM remains below its 2026 peak, offering a buying opportunity amid the Fed's dilemma between sticky inflation and a cooling labor market. Investors seeking portfolio insurance may consider a 5-10% allocation to gold in this environment.
