FUNDAMENTALS OF COMMODITY:
GOLD
Spot gold prices lost 0.3% to 1696 per ounce on Friday and booked a 9-month low, as rising yields and a stronger USD sent the bullion to the third straight weekly loss. On Friday, the US reported a net gain of 379 thousand nonfarm payrolls in February, well above market expectations of a 210 thousand gain. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate edged down to 6.2%, and the 10-year Treasury yield traded flat at 1.56% after popping above 1.6% to hit a 2021 high following the employment growth. During the week, gold prices fell nearly 2%.
