Why Gold Prices Remained In Focus

Market participants were cautious ahead of the release of US non-farm payroll data, an important economic indicator that can influence expectations surrounding the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.

According to news agency PTI, Saumil Gandhi, Senior Analyst (Commodities) at HDFC Securities, said that traders are adopting a cautious stance ahead of the important non-farm payrolls report for August (US), which is keeping the market prices in a narrow range.

Gandhi said that the market’s focus is completely on US employment data. This will be followed by inflation data next week, which will provide further clues about the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy outlook.

He said that weaker than expected data could further extend the dollar’s decline and support gold, while better data or new signals of a dovish stance from the Federal Reserve could revive expectations of interest rate hikes and put pressure on prices.

Traders also attributed Friday’s decline in futures to profit booking following the recent rally. Investors were simultaneously monitoring US employment figures for clues about the direction of the dollar, bond yields and precious metals.
