Gold futures were little changed, clinging to this week's gains after a somewhat disappointing October jobs report.

The economy generated 161,000 jobs last month, slightly short of expectations, according to the Labor Department.

The unemployment rate fell to 4.9%, however, keeping the door open for a Federal Reserve rate hike in December.

Dec. gold was down 10 cents at $1,303.40 an ounce.

Prices rallied this week as Donald J. Trump closed the gap on Hillary R. Clinton just ahead of Tuesday's general election.

Markets have been spooked by the possibility of a protectionist president.
