GOLD: New position!
Fundamental Overview
The value of gold, specifically in relation to the US dollar, has slightly decreased after reaching an all-time high. This can be attributed to a temporary pause in the bullish trend, as investors wait for the release of the important US Nonfarm Payrolls data.
The Fed has given an indication that they may halt their increase of interest rates after raising them to their highest level since 2007. This aligns with the cautious comments made by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who believes the current monetary policy is restrictive enough to have an impact on the US Dollar and boost the price of Gold.
On Thursday, the US market experienced a mix of data that boosted the price of Gold. This was further strengthened by the market's anticipation of the Fed raising interest rates in September 2023. However, there are concerns among XAU/USD traders about potential banking issues and the expiration of the debt ceiling.
On the other hand, the weaker PMI numbers in China and the possibility of the US jobs report falling short of expectations, despite the positive early indications, suggest that those looking to sell gold may have an opportunity.
Looking ahead, it will be crucial to keep an eye on the April US jobs report's monthly releases for clear guidance.
