Gold Price Holds Near One-Week High Ahead of US NFP Report, Bulls Remain Cautious

Gold Price Update: Bulls Stay on Sidelines Near One-Week High

Gold Stabilizes Around $3,340 Ahead of Key US Jobs Data

Gold (XAU/USD) remains steady near its weekly peak of about $3,340 early in the European session, reversing earlier minor declines. The precious metal’s momentum is cautious as investors await the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report, which is expected to guide Federal Reserve rate cut expectations and influence the US Dollar’s direction.

Factors Influencing Gold Price Movement:

• Fed Rate Cut Expectations: Market consensus on possible Fed easing supports gold by weighing on the USD.
• US-Vietnam Trade Agreement: The recent deal eases trade tensions but limits safe-haven demand for gold.
• Investor Caution: Traders prefer to hold positions until the NFP report clarifies the economic outlook and Fed policy trajectory.

Market Outlook:

Gold’s near-term trend depends heavily on the upcoming US jobs data and the Federal Reserve’s signals regarding interest rates. A dovish Fed stance may boost gold further, while stronger US data might limit gains.
