Gold prices rose amid weaker dollar and higher-than-expected US unemployment claims

Gold prices climbed nearly 1%, according to the website Kitco News. The rally was driven by a 0.6% decline in the US dollar index, fueled by economic slowdown, uncertainty over American trade policy, and a court ruling challenging some of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

The rebound from recent weekly lows was also spurred by unexpected stateside employment data. Jobless claims surged to 240,000 for the week ending May 24, exceeding forecasts of 230,000 and the previous week's 226,000.

This information has strengthened expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. According to experts at Kitco News, a potential reduction in borrowing costs would make gold more attractive to investors seeking portfolio diversification and protection against economic instability.
