Key U.S. Indicators to keep in mind while Trading in Gold during U.S. Session

Today U.S. will release ADP Non Farm Employment Change data at 1215 GMT/1745 IST, U.S. Trade Balance data at 1230 GMT/1800 IST and ISM Services PMI data at 1400 GMT/1930 IST.

U.S. ADP Job creation is an important leading indicator of consumer spending, which accounts for a majority of overall economic activity. ADP analyzes payroll data from more than 23 million workers to derive employment growth estimations.

While ISM Services 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 300 purchasing managers which asks respondents to rate the relative level of business conditions including employment, production, new orders, prices, supplier deliveries, and inventories.
