Monday, June 2nd ISM Manufacturing PMI A higher-than-expected PMI may strengthen the USD and put downward pressure on gold. Gold prices would probably be supported by a weak reading. Fed Chair Powell Speaks Powell may suggest aggressive policy or rate rises, which would cause the USD to rise and drive gold lower. Usually, gold would be lifted by dovish remarks. Tuesday, June 3 Job Openings at JOLTS Increased job vacancies indicate a strong labor market, which would strengthen the USD and depress gold. Lower values might have the reverse effect. Wednesday, June 4 ADP Non-Farm Employment Change Strong ADP data indicates labor strength, which weighs on gold and increases the USD. On the basis of recession fears, a miss might lead to gold buying. ISM Services PMI Excellent services PMI supports bearish gold sentiment, optimistic USD sentiment, and economic resilience. The demand for gold is supported by a lower reading. Thursday, June 5 Unemployment Claims Gold may suffer from fewer claims, which show the strength of labor. Growing claims may indicate economic strain and raise the price of gold. Friday, June 6 Average Hourly Earnings m/m Increased salaries indicate inflationary pressure, which could lead to Fed tightening bets (bearish on gold, bullish on the USD). Non-Farm Employment Change Gold declines and the dollar rises when the NFP report is strong. Weak numbers increase recession fears and are frequently positive for gold. Unemployment Rate A decrease in unemployment is both good for the USD and bad for gold. Gold as a safe haven is usually supported by an increase.
