Gold prices approached one-week highs on Thursday, influenced by a weaker U.S. dollar and lower yields. This shift came after signs of a cooling labor market led investors to anticipate a significant rate cut from the Federal Reserve this month. Spot gold rose 0.9% to $2,515.93 per ounce by 2:03 p.m. ET (1803 GMT), although it slightly reduced gains following U.S. services sector data. U.S. private employers reported the lowest hiring numbers in 3.5 years for August, signaling a potential slowdown in the labor market.
