- Non-farm payrolls and gold prices: Non-farm payrolls unexpectedly decreased by 23,000, and the previous two months were collectively revised down by 145,000, greatly suppressing expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September. Gold was already in a rebound process, and after the non-farm data was released, the lowest point was 4301 and has now risen above 4364.

This disappointing report has once again raised concerns about the labor market and could further complicate the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions, as policymakers need to strike a balance between weak employment and persistent inflation.
- "Fed mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos: In July, the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 4.09% as both the number of job seekers and the number of people classified as unemployed declined; this data brings the unemployment rate to its lowest level in two years. In February, it was 4.44%, and in November last year, it was 4.54%.
