Mumbai, Dec. 10 -- COMEX gold continues to hold steady above $4200 mark amid cautious moves ahead of Federal Reserve policy decision due this week. Currently, the yellow metal is quoting at $4236.20 an ounce, flat on the day. Data from US Labor Department's JOLTS report showed yesterday that job openings rose to 7.67 million in October, beating forecasts of 7.20 million. This report indicated a strong labor market, which could weigh on rate cut expectations.
