Even with a slight decrease in the monthly purchase rate from previous peaks, this trend still provides sustained structural support for gold prices. A record proportion of central banks have indicated their intention to increase their gold reserves, providing a substantial buffer against downside risks to gold prices. Goldman Sachs forecast implies that even with fluctuations in monthly data, central bank demand will remain one of the most persistent structural support factors for gold prices over the next two years. Another survey conducted by the World Gold Council between February and May, involving 76 central banks, also supports this view. A record 45% of respondents indicated they expect to increase their gold reserves in the next 12 months, the highest level in the surveys history. Approximately 90% of respondents expect global central bank gold holdings to rise during the same period, while the remaining respondents expect them to remain roughly stable. No respondents expected a decline.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD struggles to extend gains on encouraging ADP Employment data from the United States

After falling to almost $1,825.00 during the late New York session, the gold price (XAU/USD) has tried a recovery. The precious metal is battling to continue its rebound as robust United States Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Employment Change data has prompted the risk of the Federal Reserve (Fed) maintaining higher interest rate stability for an extended duration.

 

S&P500 suffered a major sell-off from the market participants, displaying a risk-aversion theme, as bigger additions of fresh payrolls in the United States job market will require the Fed to sustain its aggressive position on interest rates for a longer term. This has also caused a possibility of recession in the US economy. The Employment Change (Dec) jumped to 235K in contrast to the predicted 150K and the previous release of 127K. In addition, the weekly Initial Jobless Claims (IJC) have decreased to 204K compared to the expected 225K.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) achieved a roaring rally after sustaining above the important resistance of 104.00 and rose to reach 105.00. In addition, 10-year US Treasury yields detected demand and rose to approximately 3.72 percent.

 

Investors will closely monitor Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data on Friday. After noticing optimistic signals from ADP Employment Change, it is quite likely that the US NFP will report data that exceeds expectations. The unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 3.7%.
