Please note that past performance does not guarantee future results
EVENTS:
- FRIDAY, JUNE 6, AT 13:30 GMT+1: US NON-FARM PAYROLL (NFP) AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (MAY): A lower-than-expected NFP reading should be taken as positive for the gold price, because a weaker US economy could exert negative pressures on the US dollar. This data measures the change in the number of people employed during the previous month, excluding the farming industry. The data for the previous month stood at 177,000 which lower than for the month before (228,000).
GEOPOLITICS:
- RUSSIA – UKRAINE POTENTIAL PEACE AGREEMENT IN JEOPARDY AHEAD OF ANOTHER ROUND OF TALKS. Uncertainties remain high even after President Trump- President Putin phone call on May 19 as no breakthroughs have been announced. The phone call happened after a round of unsuccessful talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul, Turkey on May 16, where there were no signs of a major breakthrough, neither. A new round of talks was scheduled for Monday, June 2 at 11:00 GMT+1.
- US – IRAN NUCLEAR TALKS: MIDDLE EAST TENSIONS RISE AS NO CONCRETE DEALS HAVE BEEN MADE BETWEEN THE USA AND IRAN. The latest round of talks between the US and Iran in Rome, Italy brought no concrete agreements. Iran is still insisting on continuing its uranium enrichment program, while USA wants zero uranium enrichment from Iran. The next and sixth round of talks is expected to take place sometime in June.
