The price of gold rises amid anticipation of the US jobs report: Gold prices rose in the trading session on Wednesday,
amid investors’ anticipation of the release of economic data, especially the jobs report,
in an attempt to predict the Federal Reserve’s move regarding the monetary policy it will follow.
Still, the rise in US bond yields made it difficult for gold to continue rising.

Kyle, a senior financial market analyst at Capital.com,
believes that reducing expectations regarding interest rate cuts is the biggest driver of gold’s price,
which will remain so for a few days.

The report of the last Federal Reserve meeting, which was held on December 12 and 13,
indicated that bank officials are convinced of the decline in inflation.
Still, they expressed great doubt regarding interest rates and their reduction.

The dollar index fell, maintaining the rate it reached over 3 weeks in the last session,
while 10-year Treasury bond yields rose and reached 3.9330%.

Economic reports and data

Investors are awaiting the release of the weekly unemployment claims data,
which is expected to be released today, in addition to the non-farm payrolls report, which will be released tomorrow,
Friday, to obtain a clearer picture of the scope available to the US Central Bank to reduce interest rates.
