US news that moves gold: before and after every release

For every high-impact US release we publish two parts on one page. Before: what it is, the consensus, how gold reacted to past releases of the same kind, and the volume levels to watch in XAUUSD and gold futures. After: the actual number against the consensus and the measured reaction, minute by minute, with volume, big orders and which levels held. Facts and history only, no forecasts.
