Spot gold is on an upwards trajectory and given it has closed above the 38.2% retracement of the October to December sell-off (at $1250.9), the metal could be headed to $1272 or even the 100-day moving average at $1290. In late US trade we get narrative from regional Fed presidents Charles Plosser (speaks at 04:45 AEST) and Richard Fisher (05:20 AEST). The narrative from these two individuals will be important as this year they get a chance to vote. If they detail that the recent weak payrolls report was a 'one-off' and that QE should be terminated sooner-rather-than-later we could see USD strength and gold weakness.
