Does US Jobs Report Bode Well for Gold Prices?
The US non-farm payroll figure for June improved at a marginally slower rate than in May. In June, 213,000 jobs were added compared to 244,000 in May. The data for June, however, beat the market expectation of 195,000 job additions. The broader market S&P 500 Index (SPY), the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DIA), and the NASDAQ Composite Index (QQQ) rose 0.85%, 0.41%, and 1.34%, respectively, on Friday, July 6, after the announcement of the non-farm payroll report. The US unemployment rate threw a surprise for June as it grew to 4.0% from 3.8% a month earlier.
Market Realist•5 days agoHow Long Will US Dollar Keep Holding Gold Back?
The PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (UUP), which provides exposure to the dollar’s futures contracts, has risen 3.3% year-to-date (or YTD) and 6.5% since late March. The recent run to safe-haven assets following the tariff announcements, in concert with the Fed’s hawkish tone, has supported the US dollar. The ECB’s (European Central Bank) tone was more dovish than expected in its last meeting, which supports the monetary policy divergence theory and favors the US dollar. While the rally in the US dollar might have dominated the foreign exchange markets for the last few months, that could be about to change.

Gold prices have gone through a rough patch recently with prices closing near their seven-month lows. Gold is hitting lows despite many factors that are favoring its safe-haven status. Despite the escalation of trade war fears and political tensions in the European Union, gold prices have been trending lower. While these factors have helped gold, the US dollar is also attracting bids because of these factors, which has capped gold’s gains.

Rising Dollar Is Creating Opportunity in Commodities
A fundamental factor of the world commodities markets that many investors fail to appreciate is that, in most cases, the assets are priced and traded in U.S. dollars.

In this article, we take a look at several charts suggesting that the sell-off in commodities could be overblown and that strategic traders may actually be looking to buy given the lucrative risk-to-reward setups.

Why Did the Euro Appreciate against the US Dollar?
Economic data released from the euro area remained upbeat as economic data that included German and French business activity was better than expected. The other major factor that drove the euro higher was the assurances by Italian politicians that their nation would stay within the European Union.
