Although he has subsequently reiterated that he did not provide any Fed-like advice, it has successfully disrupted market sentiment. The closing of markets in China, Japan and South Korea has made gold buyers hesitant. The U.S. ISM Service Industry Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) reading increased, showing that the U.S. economic recovery has strengthened and optimism supports the gold trend, but the market outlook is still the key to watching the inflation rate data.
