Gold prices rose on the back of weaker labor market data, but soon gave back much of those gains. Gold futures for June delivery were around $3,390 after initial claims for unemployment benefits exceeded markets' expectations. More people filing for unemployment paints a sour picture of the economy and pushes investors to safer investments, like gold.
