The amount had exceeded 200,000 for three straight months.

Oil dropped to a seven-week low as an employment report raised concern that U.S. fuel demand will slow and Iran agreed to resume talks on its nuclear program.

Futures fell as much as 2.4 percent after the government reported on April 6 that the U.S. created 120,000 jobs in March, below the median forecast of 205,000. Negotiations between Iran and the United Nations Security Council members plus Germany are scheduled to start April 14, easing concern that supplies will be disrupted.

The U.S. employment increase was the smallest in five months. The data also showed the unemployment rate fell to 8.2 percent as people left the labor force, while workers put in fewer hours.

Iran and the representatives of the six nations will meet for nuclear talks starting April 14 in Istanbul, Michael Mann, a European Union spokesman, said yesterday. Their last meeting was in January 2011. The government in Tehran is under increasing economic pressure from trade, financial and energy sanctions, including U.S. penalties on banks that process payments for Iranian crude.

Consumer prices in China rose 3.6 percent from a year earlier after gaining 3.2 percent in February, the National Bureau of Statistics said on its website today.

Gold is going up after the disappointing data on U.S. employment and reports of unexpectedly high inflation in China.

On Friday it was announced that the U.S. unemployment rate unexpectedly fell in March to 8.2% from 8.3% in February, but the number of jobs in non-farm sectors of the economy grew by only 120,000. The data were taken with a negative market, despite the decline in unemployment - expected to increase in the number of jobs will be 205,000. At the same time the February figure was revised upward to 240,000 from 227,000.

Inflation in China reached 3.6% in March year on year, while economists had forecast consumer prices by 3.3%. This fact has also increased investor interest in gold as a reliable asset, since, according to many analysts, the data on the growth of consumer prices in China are proof that the government will continue to stimulate economic growth in China.

Demand for gold from investors in China has grown dramatically in the past year because of high inflation: according to World Gold Council, the physical demand increased by 20 percent compared with 7 percent growth in the global market as a whole.

Analysts suggest that, despite the weak data on employment, on the whole state of the U.S. economy is improving due to the ongoing crisis in the eurozone, which will soon lead to the strengthening of the dollar and thus reduce the price of gold. Last week the dollar to a basket of currencies increased by 1.3 percent.

Jewellers in India - the world's largest gold market - on Saturday completed a three-week strike, as the finance minister promised that the government has to rethink the introduction of the excise tax on non-brands jewelry. Demand for the physical market in China has risen in the last week due to lower world prices.

May futures on the COMEX for gold today rose to $ 1648.6 an ounce.

The yen rose against all of its major peers as data showing Japan returned to a current-account surplus and tensions over a North Korean rocket launch bolstered the allure of the currency as an investment haven. The yen has weakened almost 5 percent against the dollar since the Bank of Japan set a 1 percent inflation goal on Feb. 14 and increased its planned purchases of government bonds. The BOJ starts a two-day policy meeting today.

The euro touched a one-month low versus the Japanese currency before a German report that may show exports declined in February. Exports from Germany, the euro area’s biggest economy, probably decreased 1.2 percent in February from the prior month, when they rose 2.4 percent, a Bloomberg News survey of economists showed before the report due tomorrow.

The dollar weakened against the yen before data this week that may show inflation in the U.S. eased. U.S. consumer prices advanced 0.3 percent last month after climbing 0.4 percent in February, according to a separate survey of economists taken before the Labor Department’s April 13 release. The Labor Department reported last week that nonfarm payrolls increased by 120,000 last month, the smallest gain in five months.

On Monday the yen rose against all of its 16 most-traded counterparts amid investor concern that Chinese manufacturing was weaker as official government data conflicted with a private-sector purchasing-manager index. The Chinese purchasing manager’s index released by the country’s logistics federation and National Bureau of Statistics for March rose to a one-year high of 53.1. In contrast, a PMI from HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics showed manufacturing contracting and export orders declining. The index fell to 48.3 in March from 49.6 the previous month.

On Tuesday the dollar fluctuated after touching an almost one-month low against the euro before the Federal Open Market Committee releases minutes of its March meeting where policy makers raised their assessment of the economy. The FOMC will release minutes of its March 13 meeting when policy makers raised their economic assessment while repeating that “exceptionally low” interest rates may be needed through late 2014. Chairman Ben S. Bernanke still said on March 26 that further stimulus may be needed to lower unemployment.

On Wednesday the euro lost the most in almost a month against the dollar after demand declined at a Spanish bond auction, adding to concern the region is struggling to overcome its sovereign-debt crisis. Spain sold 2.59 billion euros of bonds today, less than its maximum target of 3.5 billion euros, the central bank said. Demand for notes maturing in 2015 was 2.41 times the amount allotted, down from 4.96 at the previous sale of the maturity in March. It also sold securities due in 2016 and 2020. The 17-nation currency weakened after the European Central Bank kept its benchmark rate at a record low and President Mario Draghi said the economic outlook remained subject to “downside risks.”

On Thursday the euro fell to a three-week low against the dollar as Spanish and Italian bonds slumped and borrowing costs increased at a French auction, adding to concern the region’s debt crisis is spreading. The 17-nation currency dropped to a three-week low versus the yen as Spain’s 10-year bond yields increased to the biggest spread compared with German bunds since November amid investor concern that Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy may require international aid. Spain’s 10-year yields increased to 400 basis points, or 4.0 percentage points, more than similar-maturity bunds after demand declined at a Spanish debt sale. Italy’s 10- year yield increased 12 basis points to 5.48 percent. France auctioned 4.32 billion euros of 10-year debt at an average yield of 2.98 percent, up from 2.91 percent at the previous offering on March 1. Borrowing costs for five-year and 15-year debt also increased.

On Friday the euro headed for the biggest weekly drop against the yen in seven months as Spain’s rising borrowing costs fueled concern that the region is failing to contain its debt crisis. The 17-nation currency traded 0.3 percent from a three-week low versus the dollar before data next week that may show German exports fell and growth in French industrial production slowed, adding to evidence that the fiscal woes are hampering the region’s economies. German exports probably decreased 1.2 percent in February from January, when they rose 2.4 percent, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News before the report due on April 10. In France, output increased 0.2 percent in February, after gaining 0.3 percent the prior month, another poll showed before the nation’s statistics office releases data the same day.

Asian stocks fell, with the regional benchmark index extending a weekly drop and falling to its lowest level in a month, as slowing German factory output fueled concern Europe’s economy is contracting.

Asian stocks fell today after German industrial production fell 1.3 percent in February, more than twice as much as economists’ estimates. Shares also dropped after Spanish bond yields rose to their highest compared with German debt, and French borrowing costs rose at a bond auction, adding to concern the debt crisis is spreading.
