Gold 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Yesterday, gold prices surged higher to around 1830 before giving back all of their gains and eventually closing slightly lower.

As U.S. bond yields surged following the release of minutes from the Fed’s last meeting, the records showed that the Fed may need to raise rates sooner than expected to keep inflation in check.

In addition, strong ADP employment data also led the bulls to hesitate. However, the stock market selloff and tensions between Russia and Ukraine supported risk aversion. The main focus during the day will be on the initial claims, challenger layoffs and ISM services PMI.
