FXStreet reports strategists at OCBC Bank expect the gold (XAU/USD) to continue with its sideways movement ahead of Friday’s Nonfarm Payrolls. A robust report could send the yellow metal below the $1800 level.

“The last three days saw little intraday volatility in gold price movements and the precious metal has traded cleanly above the $1800 level in the same period. We expect this trend to continue until tomorrow’s jobs report.”

“A strong US nonfarm payroll may send gold back below the $1800 handle.”
