Gold prices tick higher after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a less-hawkish-than-expected message and as the market turns its focus to U.S. jobs data. Bullion rebounded Wednesday as Warsh's remarks eased concerns over immediate tightening. "Gold could find near-term support if expectations for additional rate hikes continue to soften, although persistent inflation and a resilient U.S. economy are likely to limit upside potential," analysts at MUFG say. In early trading, New York gold futures are up 0.1% to $4,088.10 a troy ounce. Traders now await the release of U.S. nonfarm payrolls data due later on Thursday. (giulia.petroni@wsj.com)
