The August U.S. Employment Situation arrives after July payrolls fell by 23,000, unemployment held at 4.1%, and prior May–June payroll estimates were revised down by a combined 103,000. For XAUUSD, wages and revisions can matter as much as the headline.
Calendar forecast; July was −23K.
Calendar forecast; unchanged from July.
Calendar forecast; July was 3.2% y/y.
Consensus snapshot observed on August 29 and may change before release. Always check the latest calendar.
Payrolls materially below expectations, rising unemployment, softer wages and/or negative revisions would normally weaken the dollar/yields channel and support gold.
A clear payroll beat with firm wages and stable or lower unemployment could lift yields and the dollar, creating initial pressure on gold.
A strong headline with weak revisions, or weak payrolls with hot wages, raises the risk of a fast reversal. Confirmation from U.S. yields and the dollar is essential.

Economic-calendar consensus snapshot
Пятничный NFP выходит 4 сентября в 15:30 UTC+3. Смотрите не только число новых рабочих мест, но и безработицу, зарплаты и пересмотры прошлых месяцев. Слабый комплекс данных обычно поддерживает золото через снижение доллара и доходностей; сильный рынок труда и ускорение зарплат могут оказать давление. Смешанный отчёт повышает риск резкого разворота первого движения.
