Key U.S. Indicators to keep in mind while trading Gold during U.S. session
Today U.S. will release Flash PMI data at 1345 GMT/1915 IST and Richmond Manufacturing data along with New Home sales data scheduled at 1400 GMT/1930 IST.
Flash PMI is a leading indicator of economic health – businesses react quickly to market conditions, and their purchasing managers hold perhaps the most current and relevant insight into the company’s view of the economy. It is derived via a survey of about 800 purchasing managers which asks respondents to rate the relative level of business conditions including employment, production, new orders, prices, supplier deliveries, and inventories. While Richmond Manufacturing Index is result of a survey of about 55 manufacturers in the Richmond area which asks respondents to rate the relative level of business conditions including shipments, new orders, and employment.
