(Wallace Refiners) – Further improvement in the U.S. labor market, as fewer American workers apply for first-time unemployment insurance, continues to weigh on gold prices, which was already seeing some technical selling pressure.

For the third consecutive week less than 500,000 workers filed for initial jobless claims. Thursday the U.S. Labor Department said that weekly jobless claims fell by 34,000 to 444,000, down from the previous week’s revised estimate of 773,000 claims.

The latest labor market data was better weaker than expected as consensus forecasts looking for claims to rise to 453,000.

“This is the lowest level for initial claims since March 14, 2020 when it was 256,000,” the report said.

The gold market is not seeing some modest selling pressure in reaction to the latest unemployment numbers. June gold futures last traded at $1,870.10 an ounce, down 0.6% on the day.

The four-week moving average for new claims – often viewed as a more reliable measure of the labor market since it flattens week-to-week volatility – fell to 504,7500, down by 30,500 claims from the previous week.

“This is the lowest level for this average since March 14, 2020 when it was 225,500,” the report said.

Continuing jobless claims, which represent the number of people already receiving benefits, were at 3.751 million during the week ending May 8, up by 111,000 from the previous week’s revised level.
