Traders eye India’s Service PMI, US weekly jobless claims
“Gold price steadied, getting a reprieve after declining in the previous eight consecutive sessions, as US bond yields and the dollar stepped back from highs ahead of a keenly awaited non-farm payrolls report this week. A broad selloff in world government bonds on Wednesday drove up US 30-year Treasury yields to 5% for the first time since 2007 and German 10-year yields to 3%, which could hasten a global slowdown and hurt stocks and corporate bonds. Markets now await the Labor Department’s more comprehensive and closely watched employment report for September on Friday,” said Manav Modi, Analyst- Commodity and currency, Motilal Oswal Financial Services.
“The US services sector slowed in September as new orders fell to a nine-month low, while the factory orders was reported better than expected capping gains for metals on the higher side. Focus today will be on Services PMI from India, US weekly jobless claims and comments from a few Fed officials,” Manav Modi added.
