A decline in consumer confidence generally results in decreased consumer spending. When individuals feel less optimistic about their financial situation and the overall economic context, they tend to prioritize saving over purchasing, especially for significant investments.
Nonetheless, tonight’s disappointing data from the US has not halted the decline in gold prices, which have fallen to $2,610, seemingly unaffected by the recent economic indicators. This downward trend in gold prices may persist. Additionally, major currencies like EURUSD and GBPUSD also exhibited weakness following the release of this data.
