Fundamental analysis
The XAUUSD outlook for 5 June 2025 considers gold maintaining resilience, trading near 3,370 USD per troy ounce. Investors remain cautious ahead of the US Non-Farm Payrolls report (NFP), which could shape market direction.
Gold prices are supported by weak US economic data, including a decline in the services PMI to 49.9 and ADP employment growth of just 37 thousand. These figures reinforce expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut.
US initial jobless claims represent the number of people who claimed unemployment benefits for the first time during the previous week. This indicator measures the labour market climate, with an increase in initial jobless claims indicating rising unemployment.
The previous reading stood at 240 thousand, with the XAUUSD price forecast suggesting a slight drop to 236 thousand. Although the change is marginal, if the actual figure matches or exceeds expectations, it could affect XAUUSD quotes.
