Spot gold traded around $4,346\/oz, primarily influenced by the surprisingly weak US July non-farm payrolls (NFP) report. The softer-than-expected labor market data effectively suppressed market expectations for Fed rate hikes, pressuring the US dollar index lower and providing solid downside support for gold. Although profit-taking near record highs led to minor consolidations, the bullish structure for gold remains robust, bolstered by expectations of a pivot in monetary policy and safe-haven flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Concurrently, the risk premium in the crude oil market spiked again, with WTI crude edging higher to trade near $78.73\/barrel. On the news front, the deadlock in the Middle East situation and stalled diplomatic negotiations\u2014coupled with specific preconditions required to reopen the Strait of Hormuz\u2014have directly heightened supply-side concerns. Looking ahead, if diplomatic efforts in the Middle East remain fruitless, supply risks will continue to support range-bound strength in oil prices. Meanwhile, the gold market will closely monitor upcoming US inflation data to validate further evolution of policy pivot expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Asset Class Performance &amp; Fundamental Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>1.
