Gold trades around $4,150–4,200 per ounce, 25% below its all-time high of about $5,589 set on January 28, 2026. Since then it has mostly moved between $4,200 and $4,800, held back by a hawkish US Federal Reserve.
| Factor | Current situation | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Fed rates | 3.75–4.00%. After weak September jobs data, the odds of another hike in October fell to about 22%. | Bearish |
| Real yield (10-year) | 2.42% in early September, a high level. It is the opportunity cost of holding gold. | Bearish |
| US dollar | Firm on the Fed's stance, though weak jobs data took some strength away. | Bearish |
| US inflation | 3.4% a year in August (core 2.4%), with energy up 16.3%. Supports gold as a hedge but keeps rates high. | Mixed |
| Central banks | About 130 t bought from January to July, slightly less than in 2025. China bought 20.2 t in August, its largest purchase since 2023, and its 22nd straight month. | Bullish |
| Gold ETFs | August brought $18 billion of inflows, the second largest on record. Holdings reached a record 4,189 t. | Bullish |
| Geopolitics | US–Iran tension, with the Strait of Hormuz at the center of negotiations. | Bullish |
| Physical demand in Asia | India's wedding and festival season begins (Diwali in early November), which usually lifts jewelry buying. | Bullish |
| Mining cost | Average all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of $1,785/oz in Q1, 16% higher than a year earlier, driven by royalties, fuel and freight. | Long-term floor |
4 bullish · 2 mixed · 3 bearish. The bullish factors are structural (demand); the bearish ones are short-term (rates and the dollar).
