Gold prices edged up and held around $4,210 per troy ounce, still comfortably above $4,200. Much weaker-than-expected US private employment data (ADP) weakened the dollar, increasing market confidence that the Fed will cut interest rates by 25 basis points next week. This is the "main fuel" for gold.
Going forward, gold's direction depends heavily on US jobless claims and PCE inflation data. If the data increasingly indicates a slowing economy and tame inflation, speculation about a rate cut will strengthen, and gold has the opportunity to rise further. If inflation remains hot, gold's upside potential could be contained. The bottom line: gold is currently in "awaiting confirmation" mode from US data.
The gold price at the time of this analysis was released was $4,204.
