Daily Analysis on Gold: Wednesday 31 July 2024
"Could there be a potential pullback in the price of gold?"
An important report that could significantly impact the Gold market will be released today. There are ADP Non-Farm Employment Change and Employment Cost Index q/q.
These two reports show the potential of the US labor market, which may affect the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates, which will be updated tomorrow, Thursday 1 August 2024, as the Federal Funds Rate.
If the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change and Employment Cost Index q/q numbers exceed expectations, it could have a positive impact on the price of gold. This is because the Federal Reserve may decide to cut interest rates before reaching the 2% target inflation rate.
On the other hand, if the numbers are worse than the forecast, there will be pressure to lower the gold price. This insight also aligns with the technical analysis.
