โก๏ธ The global gold price experienced a significant upturn last night and this morning, driven by recent developments in the US economy. On November 16, there was a pronounced surge in the weekly unemployment benefit applications and the 4-week average, prompting a shift in the precious metal market.
โก๏ธ To provide specific figures, the first-time applications for unemployment benefits in the preceding week reached 231,000, surpassing the previous week's 218,000 and exceeding the anticipated 220,000. The 4-week average for first-time subsidy applications also rose from 21,250 to 22,025.
โก๏ธ This escalating trend in unemployment benefit applications has led experts and investors to speculate that the US economy is displaying early signs of vulnerability. The increasing challenges faced by businesses in production are believed to be prompting layoffs as a measure to ensure ongoing operational viability.
