Investors are looking ahead US non-farm payrolls report and following data for June. U.S. ADP payrolls released yesterday, below market expectations of 140,000 jobs created in June. Generally, the non-farm payrolls report tomorrow, would be below 200,000.  If the non-farm payroll shows the labor market and economic activity slowing. It means US deflation coming. Of course, the market expects the U.S. economy to be affected by the trade war with China, along with U.S. trade balance and factory orders weak numbers. As a result, the Fed meeting at the end of the month, the market generally believe that the possibility of Fed fund rate cuts, the dollar has the opportunity to downward, causing gold prices to rise.
