Global Markets: Stocks Rise, Gold Hits Record High Amid Economic Data

Stock markets are doing okay, and gold is worth more than ever.

This is because people think the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates soon.

This week, everyone is watching for important economic reports from the U.S. like the jobs report to see how the economy is doing.

Also, there are worries about tariffs, which are taxes on goods coming in from other countries.

Japan's and China's stock markets are doing well, while other markets are showing mixed results.

The Indian rupee also fell to a record low.
