Gold market analysis: Bank of Japan interferes with the dollar falling and gold prices are calmly awaiting important events
Wang Gang of the Guangdong branch of the Bank of China said that although it was reported on Monday that the US dollar index fell slightly due to market intervention by the Bank of Japan, the impact on gold seemed limited. Gold market participants are basically focused on waiting for the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting on Wednesday and the non-farm payrolls report on Friday, hoping to get a glimpse into the Fed's interest rate trend.

Gold market analysis: This week ushered in the Fed's decision and non-agricultural gold prices to remain stable

Wang Gang of the Guangdong branch of the Bank of China said that the price of gold fell somewhat on Wednesday, and spot gold fell 0.2%.
