Gold retreats as traders brace for crucial US employment figures. Market sentiment has turned cautious with investors holding back ahead of the jobs report release. Historically, strong employment data tends to support USD strength, which typically pressures precious metals. Risk-off positioning is evident across traditional markets, reflecting broader macro uncertainty.

Here we go again. As soon as the US employment data is released, gold has to surrender... Is the US dollar about to take off again?

Here we go again, every time before employment data, gold drops... can't come up with new tricks anymore.

ngl, this is just noise until we see the actual NFP print. most retail traders pricing in the usd strength narrative are gonna get liquidated when vol spikes – classic inefficiency vector nobody talks about. gold dump ahead of macro data? that's just the arbitrage surface realigning before state transitions hit. watch the liquidation cascades when volatility actually breaks through.
