Because of an editing error, an article on Saturday about the impact of President Trump's shifting tariff levels on the African nation of Lesotho misstated the day Lesotho's 15 percent tariff rate was announced. It was Thursday night, not Friday night. An article on Monday about a city in Kansas suing over a planned ICE detention center misstated the language in a poster seen at a protest of an immigration detention facility in Leavenworth, Kan. The poster said that Leavenworth is 'more than a prison town,' rather than 'not just a prison town.' An article on Friday about Ford Motor announcing that it lost money in the second quarter as tariffs took a toll on its business misstated the day that Ford reported its second-quarter earnings. It was Wednesday, not Tuesday. A picture from the streaming outlet TBPN published with an article on Friday about A.I. researchers' pay packages misidentified a Microsoft employee who used to work at Google's DeepMind lab. The person shown in the image was not Amar Subramanya. An article on Saturday about the negative impact that the Trump administration's tariffs are having on businesses they were meant to help misstated the month that the United States lost 11,000 manufacturing jobs. It was July, not June. The article also misstated the number of manufacturing job losses in June, based on initial estimates. The revised number was 15,000, not 6,000. The earlier estimate was 6,000. An article on Sunday about a veteran lifeguard's Friday routine misstated, in some instances, Javier Rodriguez's surname on second reference and that of his three adult children. Their surname is Rodriguez, not Hernandez. Errors are corrected during the press run whenever possible, so some errors noted here may not have appeared in all editions.

Gold rises for fourth session as US jobs data lifts Fed rate cut bets
By Anushree Mukherjee and Brijesh Patel (Reuters) -Gold nudged higher for a fourth session on Tuesday, supported by a softer dollar and lower Treasury yields as weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data strengthened expectations of a rate cut in September. Spot gold was up 0.1% at $3,375.89 per ounce as of 0239 GMT. U.S. gold futures also gained 0.1% to $3,430.40. The dollar index hovered near a one-week low, making gold more affordable to holders of other currencies. [USD/] The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note dropped to a one-month low. [USD/] [US/] "Short-term momentum has improved for the bullish side of the narrative supporting gold prices is that the Fed is still in the mode to actually cut rates in September," OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong said. U.S. employment growth was softer than expected in July, while non-farm payroll figures for May and June were revised down by a massive 258,000 jobs, suggesting a deterioration in labor market conditions. Traders now see a 92% chance of a September rate cut, per the CME FedWatch tool. San Francisco Fed Bank President Mary Daly said on Monday that given mounting evidence that the U.S. job market is softening and that there is no sign of persistent tariff-driven inflation, the time is nearing for rate cuts. Gold, traditionally considered a safe-haven asset during political and economic uncertainties, tends to thrive in a low-interest-rate environment. On the trade front, President Donald Trump once again threatened on Monday to raise tariffs on Indian goods over its Russian oil purchases. New Delhi called his remarks "unjustified" and vowed to protect its economic interests, deepening the trade rift between the two countries. Still, gold faces some technical resistance. "I still do not see traders pushing up aggressively above the $3,450 level. Unless we have a very clear catalyst for gold price to actually pick up this level" OANDA's Wong said. Elsewhere, spot silver rose 0.1% to $37.44 per ounce, platinum gained 0.1% to $1,330.31 and palladium was up 0.2% to $1,204.25.
