黃金的價格在森林體系崩潰後表面上已經和美元沒有關系,但是當美元作為國際上最常用的結算貨幣時,國際上絕大部分貿易包括黃金都是使用美元結算的,所以黃金在一定程度上依然受到美元匯率變動的影響,當美元匯率上升時黃金價格有一定機率會受壓下跌;而美元的匯率受到其國內的經濟狀況和國際貨幣市場的影響。美國國內經濟狀況可以透過其公佈的主要經濟指標來了解,公佈的主要經濟指標包括:國民生產及收入,工產生產及訂單,就業與失業等等。各種數據的重要性取決於當前市場的焦點。市場並不會只關注一樣數據,在不同的時間市場的焦點也不相同。在以往的匯率市場一些貿易數據比較受到關注,如凈資本流入、國內生產總值等。但現時部份數據的影響力已經大減,因為美元憑藉自己作為國際結算貨幣來瘋狂印錢,使投資者漸漸發現其實有很多的經濟數據並不會真正影響到市場。屢創新高的貿易赤字和凈資本流入也未能提供炒作的餘地,因為大家都不意外會出來這樣的結果。現在市場上依然有參考價值的指標是與通貨膨脹有關的數據如消費者物價指數、生產者物價指數等。美國非農數據是除了通脹外可以對黃金價格造成最大影響的數據;美國非農業人口就業數據是就業報告的一種,可以反映出當時製造行業和服務行業的發展及其增長。非農與黃金之間存在一定程度的負相關關係,因為數據能夠反映出美國的勞動力增長規模,所以美聯儲在實施貨幣政策時會把這數據作為參考因素之一。此報告會在每月的第一個星期五由勞工部公佈,一般用來當作當月經濟指標的基調。美國非農數據公佈前,市場會在計算後得出下次公佈數據的預期值和有可能的前值修正。在新公佈數據的實際數值是否符合預期以及和前值對比,會對黃金及美元造成不同的影響。以下為各個經濟情景:

Gold traded in a tight range yesterday. The overall daily movement was pretty much like the day before – pulling back before the day’s end.; the price climbed to the day-high 1660 in the early session and retraced back to the opening price of 1650 before the day’s end.
The S-T trend is still controlled by the S-T downtrend resistance (1.1) that was mentioned yesterday. Overall, the market is bearish. However, the short-selling before 1650 is still relatively weak. Due to the lack of momentum, expect the price to remain within 1640-65(2) until it escapes.
The pullbacks before the day’s end on the second consecutive day have created another bearish signal on the daily chart. Wait for the signal; a new round of selling should only begin if the price close below 1650 on the daily chart; before that, the price should continue to wander around 1650.
