🔹 Market Outlook

* GDP holding steady at forecast shows the U.S. economy is still on solid footing.
* However, jobless claims came in higher than expected, pointing to a softening labor market → this is bearish for USD and could support gold.
* If labor data continues to weaken, markets may anticipate earlier Fed easing, which would provide additional upside momentum for gold.
