TREE NEWS reports: Spot gold fell 0.96% to $4,137.70 an ounce in late New York trade on Friday, October 2, after spiking to a session high of $4,226.45 when the US nonfarm payrolls report was released at 20:30 Beijing time, then giving back the gains. Gold lost 3.40% for the week. COMEX gold futures fell 3.58% on the week to $4,166.60 an ounce, while spot silver dropped 1.03% to $60.3664 an ounce, down 6.11% for the week.

The striking feature is the intraday reversal: gold spiked on the payrolls release and then surrendered the entire move, closing lower. That pattern suggests the macro data alone is no longer sufficient to sustain haven demand, and the weekly losses across gold, COMEX futures and silver point to a broader unwind rather than a single-session reaction. Silver's larger weekly decline is worth watching, since it typically amplifies shifts in the precious-metals complex.
