Gold rallied as traders reacted to the disappointing JOLTs Job Openings report, which missed analyst estimates by a wide margin. Traders bet that Fed will be less hawkish as high interest rates have started to put material pressure on the job market.

In case gold manages to settle above the resistance at $1935 – $1940, it will head towards the next resistance level, which is located in the $1975 – $1985 range.
