Weak Jobs and a Fed Pause Lift Gold

Conviction: 70% · Horizon: 6M · 2026-08-09

The US dollar sold off sharply as gold pushed above 4300 dollars. Weak jobs data make rate hikes less likely, which historically supports gold as a hedge against currency debasement.

Instrument Side Target Reason
GLD Long We believe gold remains the cleanest hedge against a weaker dollar if the Fed stays on hold after soft labor data.
