Dow Jones
2025/06/06

Producers of metals and other raw materials ticked down amid nerves ahead of May jobs data.

Stakes are high, with the U.S. dollar trading near a multiyear low in anticipation of a weak report.

A stronger-than-anticipated jobs growth could drive up the value of the dollar, and weigh on gold futures. Gold slipped Thursday, but remains within 2% of record highs.

Commodities trading house Trafigura warned of near-term commodities market turbulence amid geopolitical and macroeconomic instability, uncertain trade policies and the threat of increasing inflation.

Initial jobless claims rose by 8,000 to an eight-month high of 247,000 in the seven days ended May 31.
