Summary
★
The price of gold rose and fell last Friday. Spot gold closed at US$1,757.13 per ounce, almost reversing the intraday gains. It rose by 1.46% during the intraday session, refreshing its high since September 22 to US$1,781.41 per ounce. Although the weak US employment data complicates the Fed's decision to reduce monetary stimulus before the end of the year, the rise in US Treasury yields has narrowed the rise in gold prices.
After the release of non-agricultural data, the U.S. dollar fell, and U.S. bond yields initially fell and then turned higher. The benchmark 10-year Treasury bond yield rose to 1.6%. Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at Ava Trade, said in a report that non-agricultural employment data clearly shows that because the US labor market is "still very fragile", there is no need to reduce stimulus at this time. The data hit the dollar index hard and pushed up the price of gold.
However, some factors in the non-agricultural employment report show that it is not particularly pessimistic. Marcus Garvey, head of metal strategy at Macquarie Group, said that the employment report is still sufficient for the Fed to continue to reduce the size, especially the poor data is largely due to the decline in government employment, rather than private employment. Now investors’ focus will turn to Fed officials’ speeches later this month to assess their response to the employment report.
