Strong job growth in the US for May means that a rate hike by the Fed during the next two meetings is still on the table. Currently, the market is pricing in a 22 basis point increase for July.
It is worth noting that there has been a significant increase in the unemployment rate, which could be a signal to the Fed that their tightening policy is starting to take effect. It is also important to consider that the Non-Farm Payrolls report is a survey of businesses, while household surveys have shown a substantial decline in employment.

Nevertheless, today we are observing an increase in yields and a slight correction in gold. Yesterday's gains have been erased, and gold is currently approaching a test around $1960 per ounce. Key support is found around the $1945-1950 per ounce level. Gold has a stronger correlation with yields in the longer term, but in the short term, especially in recent sessions, we have seen an almost perfect correlation with EURUSD. When the path to a stronger rebound in EURUSD opens up, gold may rally back towards $2000. Seasonality suggests that the biggest gains should begin in early July, following an initial consolidation.
