Impact of Core Fundamentals (News): $Gold - main 2608(GCmain)$$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$
Bullish Factors: Weak labor market data has reduced the opportunity cost of holding gold, while continued gold purchases by global central banks as part of their reserve diversification efforts provide long-term strategic support for gold prices.
Weakening Short-Term Catalysts: Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East (such as shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the Doha negotiations) have recently shown some marginal easing or a resumption of shipping, causing the geopolitical premium previously factored into prices to diminish somewhat.
Intraday Focus: As market liquidity was thin last Friday due to the U.S. Independence Day holiday, today’s European and U.S. trading sessions will test whether bulls can sustain strong volume gains on the back of positive nonfarm payroll data.
