Gold price holding above $4,200 as U.S. jobless claims remain below 200k

Gold is off its overnight high above $4,300/oz, but the market is still holding support above $4,200/oz. This resilience comes despite a still-strong U.S. labor backdrop, with first-time unemployment claims staying below a key level. Overall, the news reads as a technical stabilization of gold rather than a fresh fundamental catalyst.
