US October non-farm payroll data exceeded expectations, causing spot gold to plunge by more than $30 in the short term, currently trading at $4042 per ounce. AI Interpretation: The strong performance of the job market directly shattered market expectations of an economic slowdown, and the continued robust demand for labor provides solid support for the Federal Reserve to maintain its high-interest-rate policy. This data significantly weakens the necessity for a rate cut in the short term, prompting funds to withdraw from safe-haven assets. The US dollar index received a strong boost, which in turn put direct downward pressure on gold prices. The market is repricing the path of monetary policy, and the expectation of a continued high-interest-rate environment will continue to exert downward pressure on the precious metals market.
