Gold Prices Decline as US Dollar Regains Ground
Gold prices (XAU/USD) are trading lower in the morning session in Europe on Tuesday. The slight recovery attempt of gold from the $2,020 region has been capped around $2,040, as the US Dollar regains lost ground, supported by market risk aversion sentiment.
Investors are adopting a cautious stance, awaiting key macroeconomic data from the United States scheduled for release this week, with particular interest in Friday's Non-Farm Payrolls report. These figures will be closely monitored to confirm the end of the Federal Reserve's tightening cycle and increase expectations of interest rate cuts in the first quarter of 2024.
Monday's data revealed that US Factory Orders fell more than expected in October, providing further evidence that US economic growth is slowing in the final quarter of the year.
The focus for investors on Tuesday will be the US ISM Services PMI and JOLTS Job Openings data. ADP Employment Change on Wednesday and Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) on Friday are the highlights of the week, as they will indicate labor market strength and shape the short-term trajectory of the Fed.
The decline in gold prices is closely tied to the dynamics of the US Dollar, as investors navigate economic data and gauge the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. The market sentiment remains cautious amid uncertainties, and developments in employment and economic indicators will play a crucial role in shaping future gold and currency movements.
