GOLD weekly special report based on 1.00 Lot Calculation:
UKRAINE – RUSSIA GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS REMAIN HIGH
- BREAKING (DECEMBER 29): RUSSIA SAID UKRAINE TRIED TO ATTACK PRESIDENT PUTIN’S RESIDENCE. Higher geopolitical tensions could possibly lead to higher demand for Gold as a safe – haven instrument. According to Reuters, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed that Russian air defenses destroyed 91 long-range drones heading for Putin’s Dolgiye Borody residence in the Novgorod region. Russia has announced that its military has selected Ukrainian targets for retaliatory strikes.
- BREAKING (DECEMBER 29): US PRESIDENT TRUMP AND RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN HAD ANOTHER CALL AFTER THE TRUMP-ZELENSKY MEETING. According to Reuters, President Vladimir Putin told U.S. President Donald Trump that Russia would review its position in peace negotiations after what Moscow said was a Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian presidential residence.
EVENTS:
- THURSDAY, JANUARY 8 AT 13:30 GMT: US INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS. A higher-than-expected reading will indicate a deteriorating situation in the US labor market, which could motivate the FED to continue its interest rate cut cycle in 2026, possibly supporting gold prices. This data measures the number of individuals who filed for unemployment insurance for the first time during the past week.
- FRIDAY, JANUARY 9 AT 13:30 GMT: NON-FARM PAYROLLS AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (DECEMBER). A lower-than-expected reading could be positive for Gold because it will signal a worsening situation in the labor market, with the FED having more incentive to intervene by lowering interest rates, thus potentially supporting Gold. This category measures the number of people employed during the previous month, excluding the farming industry. The data for last month came in at 64.000.
