Gold Shines Amid USD Pressure?

603
Gold is maintaining its bullish momentum as the market finds little additional support for the USD from the latest data. Average hourly earnings rose 0.3%, exactly in line with forecasts, creating no surprises.

Nonfarm Payrolls came in at 75k, slightly higher than the previous 73k but still matching expectations, suggesting the U.S. labor market is not particularly strong. More importantly, the unemployment rate climbed from 4.2% to 4.3%, a negative signal for the USD as it increases the likelihood of a more dovish Fed, thereby supporting gold prices.

On the H1 chart, gold is trading around $3,550, with key support at $3,500 (aligned with the EMA34 and EMA89). The nearest resistance stands at $3,590, which is also the next upside target if the current trend holds. Overall, as long as gold remains above $3,500, the scenario of testing $3,590 in the coming sessions remains the primary outlook.
