In the gold sector, ASX 200 listed companies Newmont Corporation (ASX: NEM) and Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: ASX:NST) are poised for a strong start to the week. This optimism follows the spot gold price's climb to a new high on Friday, rising 0.95% to US$2,185.5 an ounce, as reported by CNBC. This surge was in response to encouraging US job data, which bolstered hopes for a rate cut.

Other tech giants, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), saw fluctuations of +0.8% and -0.8% respectively, while Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) saw a decrease of 1.2%. Spot gold saw a 0.9% increase to $US2178.87/oz in New York. Brent crude fell by 1.3% to $US81.86 a barrel. Iron ore saw a decrease of 1.6% to $US114.85 a tonne.
