Gold jumps in Asia ahead of Fed gathering

On Wednesday, gold leapt in Asia, with the upcoming Fed gathering believed to hold steady and market participants cautious ahead of nonfarm payroll data.

December delivery gold futures rallied 0.01% being worth $1,270.65 a troy ounce. Meanwhile, copper futures added 1.19% trading at $3.149 a pound.

October’s Caixin/Markit manufacturing PMI hit 51.0, standing still from September.

Overnight, the precious commodity hovered above session minimums suppressed by a soaring greenback on the back of bullish economic reports, which raised traders’ expectations of bullish American economic surge.

In October, the Conference Board’s consumer confidence gauge tacked on to 125.9 from September’s reading of 119.8, thus confounding experts’ estimate for an outcome of 121.

By the way, consumer sentiment appears to be a major indicator of consumer spending, playing a crucial role in overall economic activity.
