Gold closed the week in the red despite a late rebound on Friday. This week, the calendar features FOMC Minutes and US Nonfarm Payrolls data. A dovish tone could weigh on the dollar and open the door for a rebound, according to FXStreet’s Eren Sengezer.
“On Wednesday, the FOMC will release the minutes of its June policy meeting. According to the CME Group FedWatch Tool, markets are currently pricing in a 66.5% probability of another 75 basis points (bps) Fed rate hike in July, compared to 84% a week ago. In case the FOMC’s publication boosts the odds of a 75 bps hike, gold could face additional bearish pressure. On the other hand, a dovish tone could weigh on the dollar and open the door for a rebound.”
“On Friday, the labor market is expected to show a loss of growth momentum in June with the NFP rising by 250K following May’s increase of 390K. Investors will also pay close attention to wage inflation data. On a yearly basis, Average Hourly Earnings are expected to rise by 5.2%, same as in May. Unless there is a negative surprise in the NFP print, a higher-than-forecast wage inflation growth could boost the greenback and vice versa.”
