US data and gold volatility
Major US releases — CPI, Non-Farm Payrolls, FOMC, PCE — often hit at 8:30 AM or 2:00 PM ET. Because gold is USD-denominated, these can move XAU/USD sharply. The New York morning overlap with London is a common focus for gold traders.
Spot vs futures
Spot XAU/USD on MT4/MT5-style platforms mirrors forex session liquidity. COMEX GC adds exchange-traded depth and different margin rules. Both tend to be busiest when New York and London are open together.
