Strong US Jobs Report Fuels Rate Hike Fears, Spot Gold Tumbles Over 3%

The unexpectedly strong US nonfarm payrolls for May raised concerns about multiple Fed rate hikes later this year, sending spot gold down more than 3%. Capital Economics economist Stephen Brown noted that without a summer labor market panic, the Fed is increasingly likely to tighten policy.
