XAUUSD : Gold fell sharply after the PMI data
The USD and Gold futures fell as investors waited for two important economic reports

On Thursday, the Commerce Department will release its initial GDP estimate. In the Dow Jones survey, economists predicted that the total value of all goods and services produced in the United States will increase 1.7% for the final quarter of 2023.
On Friday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis will release its latest information on inflation, releasing its PCE index for December. Core PCE is expected to increase 0.2% on the month and 3% year-over-year. If actual figures match estimates, the PCE figure will fall from 3.2% in November to 3% in December. This will be a strong sign that inflation continues to decline.
