(Kitco News) - The gold market remains under pressure and could face further losses as the U.S. labor market remains fairly resilient, with the number of American workers applying for first-time unemployment benefits remaining below a critical level. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits came in at a seasonally adjusted 197,000 for the week ending September 19, the Labor Department announced on Thursday. The number was slightly below expectations, as consensus estimates forecast a reading of 201,000 claims. The previous week’s figure was revised slightly higher to 198,000 claims. The gold market is not seeing much reaction to the latest employment data. Spot gold last traded at $4,264.40 an ounce, down 0.50% on the day.
