Gold prices saw mixed movement yesterday, gaining 0.50% and trading around $2,648. Market dynamics were driven by solid US economic data, improved services sector activity, and President-elect Donald Trump’s remarks, which boosted the US Dollar and capped Gold's rise.
Key Developments:
Strong US jobs data and increased business activity in services reduced expectations for further Fed rate cuts.
China’s central bank increased Gold reserves for the second consecutive month, supporting bullish sentiment.
US Treasury yields remain elevated, bolstering the Greenback.
Upcoming Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) will likely provide the next major catalyst for Gold's movement.
