A brief analysis of the fundamentals:
On Friday (August 5), the United States announced that the number of non-farm payrolls increased by 528,000 after seasonal adjustment in July, the largest increase since February this year and nearly double the market expectation. Interest rate expectations have risen sharply. After the data was released, the U.S. index rose by more than 80 points, and spot gold fell by nearly $20, falling to the $1,770 mark at one point. The market began to re-bet on the Fed to raise interest rates by 75 basis points in September, and gold may face pressure again in the short term.
