XAUUSD - Trading is quiet under a lot of pressure

Gold market quiet at the start of the week due to the recovery of the USD and lack of economic data. Investors' trading with gold was limited by neutral statements on monetary policy in the Federal Reserve's July meeting.

The focus is now on the US Non-Farm Payroll data for July, which will be released on Friday. Strong employment data could put pressure on gold as it would reinforce the motivation for the Fed to raise interest rates.
