However, yesterday came the negative portion of the United States and received additional gold upward momentum. index of business activity in the services PMI from Markit Economics fell below the value of 50 (49.7 vs. 49.8).

Today, gold has continued to rise in anticipation of the publication of data NFP.

Attention traders focused on news from the US, when the 13:30 (GMT) will be published official data on the number of new jobs created is USDA (Non-Farm PayRolls), which are a key indicator of the health of the US economy.
