Gold plunges through $4,000/oz: what's happening?

Spot gold fell nearly $119, about 2.95%, to around $3,901/oz, its lowest in roughly a year and more than $1,000 below its peak above $5,000 earlier this year. Rate expectations weighed on prices: US Q3 employment costs rose 0.8%, Q3 GDP grew 3.4% year on year and September PCE climbed 3.6%, pushing back hopes for an early Fed easing. The Fed held its target rate at 3.75-4.00% with a 10-2 vote, and two members wanted a 25 basis-point hike. Gold kept falling despite higher oil prices after a tanker attack in the Strait of Hormuz, as the 10-year Treasury yield eased about 7 basis points to 4.98%. Silver also slid to about $49/oz, its lowest in over a year.

  • Gold steadies near 3-mth low as elevated oil prices weigh; Fed meet eyed

    Gold held steady in Asian trade on Monday after falling more than 4% last week, at $3,995.42 an ounce. The metal slipped below $4,000 on Friday for the first time since mid-July, mainly due to an oil surge amid elevated Middle East conflict, with Brent up 6.2% last week to its highest weekly close since mid-2022. Higher energy costs could prolong inflation pressures and limit central banks' room to ease policy. Investors widely expect the Fed to keep rates unchanged at its Oct. 27–28 meeting, while CME FedWatch data showed about a 78% probability of a December rate hike. The 10-year US Treasury yield near 5% keeps pressure on non-yielding gold, and the PCE inflation report due Oct. 29 will be the next test for the inflation outlook.

  • Daily Gold Trading Report - Friday , October 23 , 2026

    The Daily Gold Trading Report for October 23, 2026 puts spot gold near $4,004 after an overnight drop to the $4,000 area. Price sits below the 20-hour and 50-hour moving averages, and the report rates the bias as bearish, while the hourly RSI at 14.7 is deeply oversold, which is why the test of $4,000 produced a bounce. Key support is listed at $3,987 and $3,980, with resistance at $4,030, and the June lows near $3,950 are flagged as the next level to watch. The Fed is in its pre-meeting blackout ahead of the October 27 to 28 FOMC, with markets pricing a December hike at 88 to 90% on CME FedWatch and the 10-year Treasury yield near 5.00%. Brent touched $111.99, a five-month high, while the dollar index held near 101.6.

  • World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide

    SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes. Spot gold fell more than 2.8% to around USD 4,025 per ounce at the close of 22/10, and briefly dipped below USD 4,000 per ounce in the morning session of 23/10. Tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher, raising concerns about inflation and further Fed tightening, and gold has still not attracted sustained safe-haven demand even as US Treasury yields fell. US September CPI rose 0.6% month on month and 3.7% year on year, while PPI rose 1.3% and 6.3%. Markets price about an 84% chance the Fed holds rates steady at its 27-28/10 meeting and a 16% chance of a 25 basis-point increase; September PCE data due on 29/10 is the next key factor to watch.

  • Gold gains , silver slips as oil prices rise , Fed rate hike expectations persist - Kitco AM Report

    Spot gold edged up to about $4,136.70 an ounce (up 0.31%), while spot silver slipped to about $57.510 (down 0.64%) in early Wednesday U.S. trading. Inflation stayed firm, with September consumer prices up 3.7% annually and producer prices up 6.3%. Traders priced about an 83% chance the Fed holds rates at its Oct. 27-28 meeting and about a 94% chance of a higher rate by the Dec. 9 meeting. The 10-year Treasury yield fell to near 5.1% from above 5.3%, supporting gold, though the firm dollar and prospects for further Fed tightening limit gains. Brent rebounded above $110.00 a barrel after reports of more attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, where direct shipments remain about 33% below prewar levels.

  • Gold Prices Fall for Third Day as Oil Surge Fuels Fed Rate Hike Fears

    Spot gold slipped to $4,137.84 an ounce by 02:22 GMT, its third straight daily decline, while December futures fell 0.1% to $4,165.34. Brent crude stayed above $109 a barrel after hitting $110.70, a five-month high, on fears of Middle East supply disruptions following attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure that Yemen's Houthi group claimed. CME FedWatch showed markets pricing an 83% chance the Fed holds rates at its Oct. 27-28 meeting and 94% odds of a December rate increase. U.S. September CPI rose 3.7%, adding to inflation concerns. Spot silver gained 0.1% to $57.1325 an ounce and platinum rose 0.5% to $1,650.65.

  • Gold prices plunge overnight on October 30

    Spot gold and silver fell sharply on the night of October 30, with gold dropping more than $120/oz in the session to around $3,900/oz, below the $4,000 level. The decline came as new attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz pushed up crude oil prices and inflation concerns, even as U.S. wage growth showed signs of cooling. The Q3 labor cost index rose 0.8%, U.S. GDP grew 3.4% annualized, and September PCE rose 3.6% year on year, with core PCE up 3.1%. The Fed held its rate range at 3.75–4% on a 10-2 vote, with two members favoring a 0.25 percentage-point hike, and futures markets price about an 83% chance of a December hike. Gold is on track for a second consecutive monthly decline, while silver has weakened further on concerns about industrial demand.

  • Top AdTech stocks to watch as third quarter earnings approach - B Riley

  • AMD Reports on Nov. 3. Here's What You Should Do Before Then.

    The author argues that AMD, up nearly 150% so far this year, carries a very high valuation at 136 times trailing earnings and 34 times next year's earnings estimates, so investors should consider acting before AMD reports on November 3. Nvidia trades at about 27 times earnings, which the author considers a fair price. According to the author, AMD's business has not grown nearly as fast as its share price, and Nvidia is still growing faster (106% in Q2 versus 50% for AMD). The author expects investors may rotate from AMD into Nvidia after the third-quarter report, potentially sparking a major sell-off.

  • Why SpaceX Stock Dropped Today

    SpaceX stock (SPCX) slid 2.9% through 11 a.m. ET on Friday, which the article ties to Intel's (INTC) results released the previous evening. Intel beat forecasts by $0.12 per share on $16.5 billion in revenue, but guided to Q4 earnings of $0.25 per share versus consensus of $0.44 and Q4 revenue of no more than $16 billion against the $17.1 billion analysts had hoped for. Northland analyst Gus Richard had expected strong results and viewed the Intel partnership with SpaceX as a significant catalyst, but the weak guidance suggests the tie-up isn't good news for either company. Bank of America also warned that the reported SpaceX–Tesla merger plans could be at risk if Chinese antimonopoly authorities intervene, since half of Tesla's electric car production comes from Shanghai.

  • This Brilliant Quantum Computing Stock Could Double in a Year

    The author argues that IonQ (IONQ), a leading quantum computing pure-play, could double over the next year if its 256-qubit system, due in early 2027 and already with a handful of preorders, gains traction. IonQ holds the world record for 2-qubit gate fidelity at 99.99%, about one error in every 10,000 operations, while most competitors are below 99.9%. The stock is down roughly 60% from its peak just over a year ago, back to late-2024 levels. Much of IonQ's recent revenue growth came from acquisitions, but the company estimates organic growth of 100% or greater. The author says a positive reception for the new system could push the stock higher.

  • Cheaper cars are selling considerably faster than at the beginning of the year

    According to Edmunds, the time to sell a vehicle priced at $20,000 to $29,999 fell 20% from the first to the third quarter, the biggest acceleration of any price segment. The $30,000 to $39,999 tier sold about 18% faster, and the $40,000 to $49,999 tier nearly 12% faster. Cheaper vehicles remain scarce, though: Cox Automotive put the average new-vehicle listing price in September at $49,726, and sales in several segments under $40,000 have fallen. Compact car sales are down roughly 4% and compact SUV sales nearly 8% since the start of 2026, with analysts pointing to supply shortages, including tight Toyota RAV4 inventory and the discontinued Ford Escape. Wholesale prices for used compact cars have risen, and roughly one in four buyers financing a purchase is taking an 84-month loan, a record.
