ALBAWABA- Gold prices climbed for the fourth consecutive session on Monday, buoyed by a weakening U.S. dollar and falling Treasury yields, after disappointing U.S. jobs data increased expectations of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September.

Spot gold rose by 0.1% to $3,375.89 per ounce, while U.S. gold futures also edged up 0.1% to $3,430.40. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S.

 Treasury note dropped to its lowest level in a month, further supporting gold's upward momentum.

Among other precious metals, spot silver gained 0.1% to reach $37.44 an ounce. Platinum added 0.1% to trade at $1,330.31, and palladium advanced 0.2% to $1,204.25 per ounce.

The combination of weaker economic indicators and shifting investor sentiment toward a possible rate cut has continued to strengthen demand for safe-haven assets like gold.
