The gold market mainly depends on the following data from the United States:

Non-agricultural: U.S. non-agricultural population employment data, published on the first Friday of each month (winter time: November-March) 21:30 Beijing time, (summer time: April-October) 20:00 30.

ADP employment data: small non-agricultural employment data is an advance forecast of the non-agricultural employment population in the United States. The release time is: Beijing time on the first Wednesday of each month (winter time: November-March) 21:15, (daylight saving time : April-October) 20:15.

Core PCE Price Index: A key indicator of U.S. private consumer inflation. In January 2012, the Federal Reserve set the core PCE annual rate increase of 2% as the long-term inflation target. If the core PCE annual rate increase exceeds 2%, the Federal Reserve will tighten monetary policy, which is good for the dollar and bad for gold.
