XAU/USD outlook: Gold eases after 3.2% advance, US jobless claims eyed for fresh signal
Spot gold eased from $1740 high (posted after three-day 3.2% pre-Fed rally) in early Thursday, as traders booked profits.

A strong pickup in the US dollar demand turned out to be a key factor exerting some pressure on the dollar-denominated, albeit the early downtick lacked any strong follow-through. Read More...
