World gold price on the first day of the new month

In the world market, spot gold price on Kitco floor tends to increase when trading at 1,962 USD/ounce.

Analysts said that the gold market will not have a new breakthrough, but the trend will still increase in the near future. According to analysts, the tough monetary policy stance of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) weakens the economy.

Kevin Grady, President of Phoenix Futures and Options, said that gold prices remained at current levels despite the reaction to upcoming economic data. Just a small sign of economic weakness will also support gold prices.

In the near term, the gold market will pay attention to the US nonfarm payrolls data for July.

Tim Waterer, lead market analyst at KCM Trade, said that the US jobs data released later this week will be an important indicator of interest rate adjustments from the Fed and this will affect affect the price of gold.

Any signs of recovery in the labor market will give the US Federal Reserve (Fed) more incentive to continue raising interest rates, which bodes well for gold. Analysts expect payrolls to decline slightly in July, staying close to a relatively high level.
