Gold falls as US jobs data damps stimulus speculation
Gold today declined the most in two weeks after a private report showed companies in the US added more workers than projected in July, easing pressure on the Federal Reserve to announce measures to bolster the economy.


Gold slid 0.7% to USD 1,602.90 an ounce. A close at that price would be the biggest fall since July 18.


Silver also slumped 2.3% to USD 27.27 an ounce, the biggest loss since July 6. The 163,000 increase in employment followed a revised 172,000 gain in June, Roseland, New Jersey-based ADP Employer Services said today.
