How it works
- The news lands. A US jobs report, an inflation number, a Fed decision, a big headline.
- You get the verdict. Bullish, bearish or neutral for gold, with the numbers that matter.
- You get the why. One plain sentence on what the news usually means for gold.
The verdict is the textbook reading of the news, for learning. It is not a prediction, and gold does not always follow it. Why gold sometimes goes the wrong way.
The gold news clock (UK time)
| Release | UK time | How often |
|---|---|---|
| US jobs report (NFP) | 13:30 | Monthly, usually the first Friday |
| US inflation (CPI) | 13:30 | Monthly, usually mid-month |
| US inflation (PCE) | 13:30 | Monthly, near the end of the month |
| US business surveys (ISM) | 15:00 | Monthly, first days of the month |
| Fed rate decision | 19:00 | 8 times a year |
These follow New York time, so they shift an hour earlier for a couple of weeks in spring and autumn when the UK and US change clocks on different dates. Every date, with phone alerts.
