#CPIWatch ๐
All eyes are on upcoming Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) and CPI data, as they are among the most important indicators that could affect the Federal Reserveโs monetary policy path.
If employment and inflation data come in higher than expected, rate-cut expectations may be pushed back, which could support the dollar and bond yields and increase pressure on gold.
On the other hand, if the data shows a clear slowdown in inflation and weakness in the labor market, the likelihood of a rate cut may riseโ a scenario that could be positive for gold.
My take: Iโm leaning toward caution and neutrality before the data is released, watching how gold and the dollar react instead of making a trade decision in advance.
