Fundamental Report: The November FOMC meeting concluded which strengthened the dollar, taking gold lower. We may see a delayed reaction as market participants take time to evaluate all the information presented in the release statement and press conference by Chairman Jerome Powell. Although he emphatically stated that committee members were not focusing on rate cuts at all, much of what the Chairman said had a more pronounced dovish slant to it. While it was anticipated that the Federal Reserve would continue to press the pause button in regard to rate hikes, there remained uncertainty as to whether they would implement one last rate hike in December. He suggested that the Federal Reserve’s likely path through the remainder of the year would not include additional rate hikes. Considering that September’s jobs report contained a surprise coming in at almost double of economist’s projections, which were anticipating that 250,000 new jobs were added in September with the actual report revealing that 336,000 new jobs were added to payrolls. Consensus estimates for tomorrow’s October jobs report are much softer, anticipating an additional hundred and 80,000 jobs were added last month. The forecasts are also expecting the unemployment rate to remain at its current 3.8%.
