XAU/USD edged higher but it remains to see how it reacts in the morning when the RBA is expected to increase the Cash Rate from 4.10% to 4.35%. Also, the US Manufacturing PMI could jump to 46.9 points from 46.0 points, while JOLTS Job Openings may drop to 9.61M from 9.82M. Better than expected US data during the week could punish the price of gold.
