Gold prices fall sharply below $4,400 as strong US job growth boosts rate hike bets

Gold prices dropped nearly 2% to $4,385.80 an ounce after US August job growth exceeded expectations, with 162,000 new jobs added versus the forecast of 55,000. The unemployment rate remained steady at 4.1%. Strong employment data suggests the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates again soon, putting downward pressure on gold prices, which are sensitive to rate hikes. This shift follows a week of weaker labor reports, renewing optimism about the US economy's resilience.
