Gold futures price

Gold futures priceGold futures price fell during the trading session today, as the market participants are still under the influence of employment data in USA on Friday. The official report of the Labor Department showed that the US economy added slightly fewer jobs than expected in March. After that news the gold with immediate delivery fell with 0.5% to 1,297.96 USD per ounce, retreating from the Friday week high at 1,306.63 USD per ounce
