The Challenger Job Cuts report recorded the highest number of layoffs since 2022, while weekly unemployment claims fell to a low of 189,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rate cut <strong>expectations<\/strong> remain robust with <strong>approximately 85% probability<\/strong> of a quarter-point interest rate reduction at the Fed&#8217;s meeting next week. This confidence was also driven by the weaker-than-expected ADP National Employment Change report, after private companies reportedly cut 32,000 jobs last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Reuters review also showed that most economists <strong>expect<\/strong> a rate reduction at the December meeting, thus lending support to gold prices, which typically benefit in a low-interest-rate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 9:30 am, the price of gold was at the $4,201 level, down 0.18% compared to the opening of the Asian session on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attention Shifts to Core PCE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, market attention is focused on the release of the Fed&#8217;s preferred inflation gauge, the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index for September.
