How GDP releases impact gold
The GDP advance estimate is the first official reading of how fast the U.S.
Slower growth can lead markets to price lower interest rates, which lowers the cost of holding gold; faster growth can do the reverse.
This record has no GDP series, so it cannot line gold up against the estimates themselves.
What it does show is gold's own pace: over the last 12 months its monthly average rose in 6 months and fell in 6.
