• Non-Farm Employment Change – It’s also forecasted to be around 200K. No doubt it’s below 261K, the previous figure, yet 200K isn’t too bad.
• Unemployment Rate – It’s expected to remain unchanged at 4.1% which is boosting the bearish sentiment for Gold for sure. That’s why Gold experienced a huge gap today.

Ever since Gold is consolidating in a trading range of $1,271 – $1,277. The good thing about Gold is that the gap is still unfilled. So, we expect Gold to go for $1,280/82 as soon as the market breaks out of this range.
