Gold price (XAU/USD) nudges higher on Monday's early European session, favoured by its safe-aven status amid the increasing uncertainty in the Middle East after the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria.
Beyond that, The People's Bank of China (PBoC) announced over the weekend that it resumed Gold purchases in November after a six-month pause, which is giving an additional boost to the precious metal.
Data from the US released on Friday revealed that the country's labour market remains solid, but the increasing unemployment rate confirmed expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) would cut rates by 25 bps next week. This, and a mild risk appetite, are keeping US Dollar upside attempts limited.
