Spot gold, which can be traded using the EFT GLD (NYSE: GLD), was up on Wednesday after ADP numbers showed the U.S. added 113,000 jobs vs. a consensus of 175,000.
The ADP report helps give clues about U.S. jobs growth, with the official report on U.S. nonfarm-payrolls to come in on Friday. A weaker jobs picture could pave the way for more easing by the Fed, which is generally believed to be supportive of Gold prices.
