Gold extends rise as ADP jobs growth misses, oil prices ease
Gold extended gains after softer-than-expected ADP private payrolls data and lower oil prices reduced near-term inflation pressure and supported demand for defensive assets. With June nonfarm payrolls due next, rates expectations remain the key transmission channel: weaker labor data can ease real-yield pressure on bullion, while a firm report could quickly reprice Fed policy assumptions. Silver, platinum, and palladium also firmed.

Gold prices rose again on Thursday, with spot gold at $4,063.56 per ounce after touching $4,114.99 on Wednesday, its highest since June 23.
