Gold traded lower, recovering a part of its losses as the U.S. dollar declined after the release of the U.S. labour market data. The U.S. economy added 223,000 jobs in June, missing expectations for a rise of 230,000 jobs, after a gain of 254,000 jobs in May. May's figure was revised down from a rise of 280,000 jobs.
The strongest job gains showed the services sector. Retailers added 33,000 jobs in June, the health-care sector added 40,000, while leisure and hospitality rose by 22,000.
The manufacturing sector added only 4,000 jobs.
The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 5.3% in June from 5.5% in May. It was the lowest level since April 2008.
Analysts had expected the unemployment rate to decline to 5.4%.
The decline was driven by fewer people were looking for work.
Average hourly earnings were flat in June, missing forecast of a 0.2% gain, after a 0.2% rise in May. May's figure was revised down from a 0.3% increase.
The labour-force participation rate plunged to 62.6% in June from 62.9% in May. It was the lowest level since October 1977.
These figures are signs that the U.S. job growth slowed. The Fed may delay to hike its interest rate due to the weak wage growth figures and low inflation.
The Greek debt crisis remains in focus. According to traders, the demand for gold could increase if Greece leaves the Eurozone, or if Italy, Spain or Portugal will be affected by Greece's problems. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in a speech on Wednesday that Greeks should vote "no" in Sunday's referendum.
August futures for gold on the COMEX today declined to 1161.30 dollars per ounce.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
