Gold Hits Fresh 6 – Week low at $1,780 mark, Key U.S. Economic Indicators in Focus; Jan 28, 2022

Key U.S. Indicators to keep in mind while trading in Gold during U.S. session
Today U.S. will release Personal Income, Personal Spending and Core PCE Price Index data at 1330 GMT/1900 IST.
Core PCE Prise Index differs from Core CPI in that it only measures goods and services targeted towards and consumed by individuals. Prices are weighted according to total expenditure per item which gives important insights into consumer spending behavior. This is rumored to be the Federal Reserve’s favorite inflation measure, but CPI is released about 10 days earlier and tends to garner most of the attention. On the other side, Income is correlated with spending – the more disposable income consumers have, the more likely they are to increase spending.
Thereafter, U.S. will release Revised UoM Consuemr Sentiment data at 1500 GMT/2030 IST. It is derived via a survey of about 500 consumers which asks respondents to rate the relative level of current and future economic conditions.
