Investing.com– Gold prices rose slightly on Monday, extending gains from the prior session as mixed U.S. labor data cemented expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates on hold.<\/p>\n

This notion weighed on the and , allowing the yellow metal to appreciate on the prospect of fewer increases in its opportunity cost.<\/p>\n

A softer dollar also helped spur gains in copper, with the red metal benefiting from increased optimism over more stimulus measures in major importer China, as well as signs of some recovery in .<\/p>\n

Gold buoyed by Fed rate pause bets\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The yellow metal saw a strong recovery over the past week as a slew of middling U.S. economic readings showed that the Fed likely has limited headroom to keep raising interest rates. While rose in August, the also rose.<\/p>\n

The central bank is now almost unanimously , and may also announce an end to its current rate hike cycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chinese banks were seen cutting yuan deposit rates, while the People\u2019s Bank also loosened some mortgage requirements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sentiment towards the property market was also aided by beleaguered developer Country Garden <\/span><\/span> Holdings (HK:) reaching a deal with debtholders to postpone some payments.<\/p>\n

Focus this week is also on Chinese and data, which is set to offer more cues on the world\u2019s largest copper importer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
