The Zhitong Finance App learned that gold stocks were generally higher. As of press release, Tongguan Gold (00340) rose 3.90% to HK$3.33; Lingbao Gold (03330) rose 3.80% to HK$22.40; Shandong Gold (01787) rose 3.10% to HK$27.24; Zijin Mining (02899) rose 1.40% to HK$36.30; China Gold International (02099) rose 1.26% to HK$258.00.

According to the news, the number of ADP employees in the US for August announced on the evening of September 2 only increased by 38,000, which is lower than market expectations of 47,000. Weak employment data mitigated the market's previous pessimistic expectations of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike in September. Meanwhile, the yen strengthened sharply on Wednesday, making foreign exchange traders once again highly alert whether the Japanese authorities will interfere in the foreign exchange market again. Affected by this, the US dollar and US Treasury yields have fallen together from recent highs, and the price of gold has been out of balance for a long time. Spot gold once returned above 4,400 US dollars this morning.
