Gold price at daily lows as the U.S. service sector grows in January gold economy

The gold market is trading at fresh daily lows as the service sector beat expectations in January and grew after contracting in December, according to the latest data from the Institute of Supply Management .

Readings above 50 are seen as a sign of economic growth. The farther an indicator is above or below 50, the greater or smaller the rate of change. Meanwhile, inflation pressures cooled slightly in January, with the price index edging down to 67.8% from the previous month’s 68.1%. The latest ISM service numbers point to a solid start to the year, said Capital Economics chief North America economist Paul Ashworth.
