It marked the metal\u2019s first weekly advance in five weeks, according to aggregated market data covering June 27 through July 4. On America\u2019s Independence Day, July 4, <span>gold<\/span> was trading hands at $4,187 per troy ounce.<\/p>\n<p>Silver moved even further. The metal rose from around $58.3 per ounce to more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/XAGUSD\/?exchange=FOREXCOM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$62.4<\/a>, a jump of 6% to 7%, outpacing <span>gold<\/span> throughout the rebound.<\/p>\n<h2>Jobs Report Rattles Rate Expectations<\/h2>\n<p>The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported nonfarm payrolls rose by just 57,000 in June, far short of economist forecasts near 110,000. Unemployment ticked up to 4.2%, and private payroll growth softened alongside the headline miss.<\/p>\n<p>Traders responded fast. The probability of a September Fed rate hike, tracked through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmegroup.com\/markets\/interest-rates\/cme-fedwatch-tool.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CME Fedwatch Tool<\/a>, fell from around 66% to roughly 53% to 54% in the days following the release.<\/p>\n<p>Lower rate hike odds weakened the dollar and pulled down real yields, both of which support <span>gold<\/span> and silver since neither metal pays interest. OCBC strategists described their outlook on <span>gold<\/span> as \u201ccautiously constructive\u201d following the data.<\/p>\n<h2>Silver\u2019s Industrial Demand Adds Fuel<\/h2>\n<p>Silver\u2019s sharper rebound reflected its dual identity as both a monetary metal and an industrial input.

Schiff <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PeterSchiff\/status\/2071769736791105861?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">argued<\/a> that traders fleeing a weak yen for dollars were \u201cjumping from the frying pan into the fire\u201d by choosing dollars over <span>gold<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff has repeatedly argued <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/bitcoin-vs-gold\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gold<\/a>\u2019s long-term performance should be measured against the dollar rather than equities, pointing to its rise from under $300 in 1999 to current levels above $4,000.<\/p>\n<h2>What Comes Next<\/h2>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/bitcoin-vs-gold\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gold<\/a> remains about 22% below its early 2026 peak above $5,300, and silver has given back even more from its January highs.
