Emas: 1847 berubah menjadi resistance

Brief analysis of fundamentals:

On Thursday (January 5), the ADP employment data known as the "small non-agricultural" recorded an increase of 235,000, which greatly exceeded the expected increase of 150,000 and the previous value of 127,000. The U.S. labor market remains overheated, strengthening market expectations that the Fed still has room to keep raising interest rates. After the data was released, the U.S. index rose more than 0.5% at one point, and spot gold stopped its five-day winning streak, falling below $1,830 at one point and closing down 1.18%. The market outlook will focus on the non-agricultural report released this Friday. If the non-agricultural data further strengthens, it will continue to strengthen the Fed’s interest rate hike expectations, and beware of a new round of pressure on gold at that time.
