US nonfarm payrolls increased by only 57,000 in June, well below the forecasted 114,000, signaling a slowdown in the labor market despite hopes for a boost from the World Cup. This weaker-than-expected job growth has driven gold prices higher, with spot gold rising above $4,100 an ounce, up more than 2% on the day.
