2. US initial jobless claims report last week

According to data released by the US Department of Labor, the number of people filing for unemployment benefits in the US on December 17 increased by 21,000 to 275,000, a record high in six months, with a previous value of 254,000.

Some market participants pointed out that despite the sharp increase last week, the number of US initial jobless claims was below the threshold of 300,000 for 94 consecutive weeks, the longest continuous cycle since 1970, indicating that the labor market is at or near full employment.

More data shows that the actual personal consumption expenditure in the United States in November increased by 0.1% from the previous month, and in October it also increased by 0.1%.

Outlook outlook

Carlo Alberto de Casa, principal analyst at ActivTrades, said that “close to the end of the year, traders positioned gold as neutral, and the next support would be $1,123 per ounce. Focus is still on the Fed’s hawkish signal. That is to raise interest rates three times in 2017."

Hong Kong Lee Cheong gold dealer Ronald Leung believes that "the dollar is very strong and gold will be under pressure. With Trump becoming the president of the United States, the market will pay attention to his policy changes."

Reuters commodity technology analyst Wang Tao said that gold will be consolidating between $1121-1137/oz, and fleeing the area will hint at the direction.

Rohit Savant, research director at CPM Group, expects gold supply to continue to rise in the next 2-3 years. The reason is that gold hit a record high in 2011, causing a development boom. Although the price went back and forth, the company continued to produce to recover the investment cost.

In 2013, gold fell below 1200 and development was hit hard.

Savant said that the price decline since 2013 will not begin to have a negative impact on production until 2019.

The fall in gold has caused producers to reduce their investment, and banks are more cautious about financing mining companies.

Savant expects gold production in 2016 to be around 97.2 million ounces and will rise to 9,870 ounces in 2017 and further to 9,960 tons in 2018.

However, he said that after 2019, production will drop sharply for about 8-9 years.

Oliver Heathman, head of mining research at Metals Focus, shares the same view. He predicts that production will enter a bottleneck in 2016-2018 and then enter a long-term down cycle.

At 00:20 Beijing time, spot gold reported $1131.70 per ounce, up $0.40, or 0.04%.
