# PRECIOUS-Gold rebounds more than 3% after sharp selloff

Feb 3 (Reuters) - Gold rose more than 3% on Tuesday, rebounding from a near one-month low hit in the previous session, as market participants braced for an absence of key economic data this week due to a partial U.S. government shutdown.

### FUNDAMENTALS

-   Spot gold (XAU=) climbed 3.7% to $4,837.16 per ounce by 0120 GMT, after touching a near one-month low in the previous session. Bullion scaled a record high of $5,594.82 on Thursday.
    
-   U.S. gold futures (GCcv1) for April delivery climbed 4.5% to $4,859.30 per ounce.
    
-   The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Monday the closely watched employment report for January will not be released this Friday because of a partial shutdown of the federal government.
    
-   The government partially shut down on Saturday after Congress failed to approve a deal to keep the Labor Department, among other operations, funded. Though the U.S. Senate passed a spending package on Friday, the House of Representatives was out of town.
    
-   The House was due on Monday to take up legislation, with a final vote expected on Tuesday. House Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed optimism that the shutdown would end within days.
    
-   The dollar held onto gains on Tuesday as positive economic readings and shifting expectations for Federal Reserve policy outweighed concerns about the partial U.S. government shutdown. (USD/)
    
-   A stronger dollar makes greenback-priced gold less affordable for holders of other currencies.
    
-   Investors expect at least two Fed interest rate cuts in 2026. Non-yielding bullion tends to perform better in low-interest-rate environments.
    
-   U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday announced a trade deal with India that slashes U.S. tariffs on Indian goods to 18% from 50% in exchange for India halting Russian oil purchases and lowering trade barriers.
