A brief analysis of the fundamentals:
On Friday (July 10), the United States added 372,000 non-farm payrolls in June, significantly exceeding expectations; the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 3.6%. The dollar rose after the unexpected non-farm payrolls report was released, while spot gold fell under pressure. The expected splendid non-farm payrolls further strengthened the Fed’s expectation of a 75 basis point interest rate hike in July, but the market’s reaction to the non-farm payrolls data was very limited, and lingering recession fears were one of the factors behind it. The index fell after ascribed, and gold eventually rebounded slightly and closed up.
