U.S. Job Growth Beats Expectations in September, But Slowing Wage Growth Could Ease Fed Rate Hikes

U.S. economy added 336,000 jobs in September, beating estimates and driving gold prices lower.

Strong labor market supports Fed's stance to keep interest rates high, putting pressure on gold.

Unemployment rate remains at 3.8%, missing expectations of a decline to 3.7%.

Wage growth slowed in September compared to summer months.

Analysts say labor market strength may not force Fed to maintain aggressive policy, potentially relieving pressure on gold.
