Key economic events of this week

Some significant U.S. economic reports are scheduled for release this week that are expected to impact XAUUSD.

Wed, Jul 9 – FOMC Meeting Minutes

The tone of the minutes will be carefully examined by traders. A hawkish approach, which emphasizes inflation risks or additional rate hikes, might make the USD stronger and drive gold lower. The dollar would probably decline, and gold prices would rise in a dovish or split tone.

Thu, Jul 10 – Unemployment Claims

A worsening labor market, which would be good for gold because of lower prospects for rate hikes, may be indicated if claims are greater than anticipated. Short-term pressure on gold could result from lower claims, which would benefit the currency.
