Gold Outlook Ahead of NFP

Gold Outlook Ahead of NFP

Good day for all traders out there! We prepared a gold analysis and a bunch of other news for you to enjoy! Here's what you should know:

Event of the day:

US NFP, unemployment rate, and average hourly earnings, at 15:30 GMT+3.

Gold outlook ahead of the NFP release:

The US job market is still tight, perhaps not as tight as it has been. A report from the Labor Department Friday is expected to show that employers added about 25% fewer jobs in October than they did the month before.

Thus, the actual NFP data due to come out today at 15:30 GMT+2 may be lower than expected and push the gold higher to the resistance of $1662. Still, this is a short-term expectation from the metal. On the bigger timeframe, gold is still in the downtrend, with a high chance of reaching the support of $1557.
