How to Trade Gold during U.S. Session?

Today U.S. has scheduled to release U.S. Goods Trade Balance data at 1230 GMT/1800 IST and thereafter U.S. Pending Home Sales data at 1400 GMT/1930 IST. Trade in goods makes up about 75% of total trade, and therefore provides early insight into the Trade Balance data reported about 5 days later. A positive number indicates that more goods were exported than imported. Export demand and currency demand are directly linked because foreigners must buy the domestic currency to pay for the nation’s exports. Export demand also impacts production and prices at domestic manufacturers.

In addition, Pending Home Sales is a leading indicator of economic health because the sale of a home triggers a wide-reaching ripple effect. For example, renovations are done by the new owners, a mortgage is sold by the financing bank, and brokers are paid to execute the transaction.

Let’s see how Gold has reacted during the previous data release:
