U.S. Labor Market Figures
As mentioned earlier, it’s the NFP week and the investors are stumbling to take any long-term position, especially in the instruments which are influenced by the USA. By the end of this week, we have:
- Average Hourly Earnings – These are expected to be 0.3% which will be better than previous months. It forming a bearish sentiment for Gold.
- 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.
Technical Outlook – Gold // XAUUSD
Technically the Gold is following a strong bearish trend especially after the breakage of $1,287. A day before, the yellow metal opened with a gap.
Gold – 2 – Hour Chart
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.

In between the range of $1,271 – $1,277, we can enjoy choppy trading. But the real trend will begin once the Gold peeks out of the range.
