Traders should monitor the data releases closely and be prepared for potential volatility in the gold market. The US jobs data released revealed that job growth did not meet expectations, with unemployment rising. This indicates potential weakness in the labour market, increasing the likelihood of a recession and strengthening the case for a rate cut at the Federal Reserve meeting.
