Amillex Daily Market Review | Safe-Haven Demand Keeps Gold Firm at Elevated Levels, Markets Await Nonfarm Payrolls

March 5, 2026 — During early Asian trading, spot gold hovered around $5,170 per ounce, extending the upward momentum seen since Wednesday. Ongoing geopolitical tensions have intensified market concerns over potential supply disruptions, particularly as a key shipping route remains blocked for a fifth consecutive day, significantly boosting safe-haven inflows.

Although U.S. February ADP employment data came in stronger than expected, a substantial downward revision to January’s figures has left markets cautious about the underlying strength of the labor market. From a macro perspective, safe-haven premium has become the primary factor underpinning gold prices.

Attention now shifts to Friday’s U.S. February Nonfarm Payrolls report, which is expected to provide clearer guidance on the Federal Reserve’s next monetary policy steps. Fundamentally, while volatility at elevated levels remains pronounced, the combination of geopolitical uncertainty and supportive macro dynamics continues to favor bullish sentiment. Technically, gold retains the potential to challenge historical highs after periods of consolidation.
