Key U.S. Indicators to Keep in Mind While Trading in Gold during U.S. Session
Today U.S. has scheduled to release Philly Fed Manufacturing Index data at 1230 GMT/1800 IST and Existing Home Sales data at 1400 GMT/1930 IST. Philly Fed Manufacturing Index is is a leading indicator of economic health – businesses react quickly to market conditions, and changes in their sentiment can be an early signal of future economic activity such as spending, hiring, and investment. It is derived via a survey of about 250 manufacturers in the Philadelphia Federal Reserve district which asks respondents to rate the relative level of general business conditions.
While Existing Home Sales data 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.
