FxWirePro- Gold trade idea

Gold prices trades flat ahead of  US economic data. It hits a high of $2650 and is currently trading around $2639.

The ADP report is expected to show that private sector jobs increased by 233,000 in October, marking the highest growth since July 2023 and reflecting a strong recovery after hurricane impacts. Most of the job gains are likely from the service-providing sector, with education, health services, and hospitality seeing significant contributions. Year-over-year wage growth for those staying in jobs is projected to slow to 4.6%, while job-changers may see gains around 6.2%. The ISM Services Index will also be a key indicator of economic health, with readings above 50 showing growth. Analysts are watching these figures closely for insights into consumer spending and economic momentum.
