Change % compares the day's close with the previous close.
XAUUSD: The Biggest Move
Gold spot rose 124.52 points, or 3.18%, from a previous close of 3919.20 to 4043.72. It opened at 3919.75, dipped to a low of 3917.42, and reached a high of 4048.91. The close was therefore very near the high of the day. A move of more than 3% in one session is large for gold, so it is worth noting for anyone tracking the metal.
EURUSD, GBPUSD and AUDUSD: Gains Against the US Dollar
These three pairs all closed higher by a similar amount. EURUSD rose 0.00723 to 1.12623, after a range of 1.11867 to 1.12636. GBPUSD gained 0.00798 to 1.34947, trading between 1.34084 and 1.34949. AUDUSD added 0.0046 to close at 0.70100, with a range of 0.69548 to 0.70101.
In all three cases the close was at or very close to the day's high. In each pair the US dollar is the second currency, so a higher number means one unit of the first currency bought more US dollars.
USDJPY: A Modest Decline
USDJPY moved the other way. It fell 0.40 to 158.34, a decline of 0.25%, from a previous close of 158.74. The pair traded between a low of 157.42 and its opening level near 158.74, and it recovered part of the intraday drop by the close. USDJPY quotes the US dollar first, so a lower number means one US dollar bought fewer yen.
Summary
Gold's 3.18% rise stood out against the day's other moves. The three USD-quoted pairs gained a similar 0.59% to 0.66%, and USDJPY edged down. No news headlines were supplied for this recap, so it describes price action only and does not explain the moves.
