Thursday, the U.S. Labor Department said that weekly jobless claims increased by 2,000 to 204,000 during the week ending Sept. 23, up from the previous week's revised estimate of 202,000 claims.
The gold market is not seeing much reaction to the latest economic data. December gold futures last traded at $1,896.30 an ounce, up 0.26% on the day.

Last week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was fairly clear that the central bank needs to see some cooling in the labor market, as a sign that inflation is under control, before it shifts its current monetary policy stance.
