Gold, silver climb as U.S. data keep Fed path mixed

Spot gold rose 0.65% to about $4,716.20 an ounce and spot silver gained 2.57% to $80.300 after a mixed U.S. data release showing stronger job creation, steady unemployment, and weaker household sentiment. The macro backdrop was supportive for precious metals, with the data mix suggesting resilience in labor markets even as consumer confidence softened. The move is notable for metals traders but is unlikely to be a broad market catalyst.
