Gold Prices Hold Steady Amid Easing Rate Expectations

Gold prices remained relatively stable as U.S. Treasury yields declined and oil prices retreated, reducing inflationary pressure concerns. The gold-to-silver ratio climbed to 68, indicating gold's relative strength driven by central bank purchases and shifting investor sentiment around interest rate expectations. Weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data gave the Federal Reserve more flexibility to refrain from raising interest rates this month.
