gold prices (தங்கம் விலை இன்று) today eased marginally after a surprisingly strong US September jobs report (119,000 additions vs forecast) slashed odds of a December Fed rate cut to just 30-40%. Spot gold fell 0.1% to $4,072.87/oz amid dollar strength and year-end profit-taking. Despite three straight months of gains—including 1.33% in November so far—traders remain cautious.
