XAUUSD: 2/5 Prioritize long positions at low prices today

In the Asian market on Thursday, gold fluctuated within a narrow range and is currently trading at 2320, holding on to most of the overnight gains. After the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged for the sixth time and announced that it would slow down the pace of balance sheet reduction, the price of gold rose sharply above the 2300 milestone and once reached a daily high of 2328. In addition, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell failed to provide forward guidance on interest rate cuts for the remainder of this year. Affected by this, the U.S. dollar index fell sharply and gold soared nearly $33.

In terms of data, U.S. private employment (ADP) increased more than expected in April, suggesting that the labor market maintains momentum at the beginning of the second quarter. However, job vacancies in the United States fell to the lowest level in three years in March, and the number of resignations fell. These signs indicate that labor market conditions have loosened. The U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI fell back in April, which also provided support for gold.

In addition, the ongoing war in the Middle East has also provided support for gold prices. The Israel Defense Forces stated on May 1 that Israel dispatched fighter jets to conduct air strikes on multiple military targets of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Jihad) in the Gaza Strip, including weapons depots, military buildings, and rockets. bomb and mortar launching points, etc.

This trading day will release changes in the number of initial jobless claims in the U.S., the U.S. trade balance in March, the number of layoffs by challenger companies in the U.S. in April, and the monthly rate of U.S. factory orders in March. Investors need to focus on this. In addition, pay attention to the announcements from Federal Reserve officials. speech.
