Why Downbeat March Jobs Report Might Not Be Enough to Move Gold
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released US jobs data for March 2018 on April 6. The job growth was weaker than expected. The US added 103,000 jobs in March as compared to upwardly revised 326,000 jobs the previous month. The economists were expecting an addition of 185,000 jobs in March, as per Bloomberg. While a slowdown was expected in March due to February’s surge underpinned by hiring due to unseasonably warm weather, the decline was more than what the market expected. The unemployment rate has remained at 4.1% for six months. The Fed is forecasting a rate of 3.8% by the end of this year.

Will Mueller Be Good for Gold?
Mark Cuban says he hates gold as an investment “with double extreme prejudice,” but if you want to see the financial utility of the yellow metal, look no further than the current troubles of Michael Cohen. If President Donald Trump’s attorney had simply paid $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels in the form of gold Krugerrands back in October 2016, he probably wouldn’t have any of his current mounting legal worries. Instead, he set up an LLC and used the conventional financial system, and now he has Robert Mueller sifting through his trash.
