Gold Price Today (7 November 2025): Spot Gold Holds Above $4,000 as Dollar Softens

Gold Soars Past $4,000 for the First Time – Inside the Historic Rally and What’s Next

7 November 2025

Dateline: Friday, 7 November 2025

Quick take: Gold hovered around the $4,000/oz mark today as a softer U.S. dollar, weak private‑sector jobs signals, slumping U.S. consumer sentiment and ongoing government‑shutdown jitters supported safe‑haven demand. Traders still price roughly two‑in‑three odds of another Fed rate cut in December, keeping bullion’s floor intact for now. ^[1]

Today’s gold price at a glance

Spot gold (XAU/USD): ~$4,005/oz at 3:15 p.m. ET (20:15 GMT).
COMEX Dec futures:$4,009.80/oz at settlement.
Context: After setting a record high near $4,381 in October, gold remains elevated year‑to‑date amid persistent macro uncertainty. ^[2]

What moved prices today

Dollar drifted lower: A softer greenback made dollar‑priced bullion cheaper for non‑U.S. buyers. ^[3]
Shutdown anxiety and data blackout: With the federal shutdown still unresolved, official U.S. labor data remained delayed and broader uncertainty boosted safe‑haven bids. ^[4]
Sentiment slump: The University of Michigan’s preliminary November sentiment index fell to 50.3 (from 53.6 in October), signaling growing anxiety about the outlook. ^[5]
Rates backdrop: Treasury yields hovered near ~4.09% on the 10‑year, reflecting a cautious risk tone. ^[6]
Rate‑cut odds: Fed funds futures implied ~66% chances of a 25 bp cut in December, underpinning non‑yielding assets like gold. (CME FedWatch probabilities referenced by multiple outlets.) ^[7]

Market color: physical demand & regional cues

India: Post‑festival discounts widened to as much as $14/oz over global prices as high volatility kept buyers cautious despite the onset of the wedding season. Domestic prices remain below October’s peaks. ^[8]
China: Physical market conditions cooled after regulatory changes to tax treatment for some retailers; bullion generally traded between a $2 discount and $5 premium vs. global spot. ^[9]

The bigger picture: what’s been powering gold in 2025

Record run, then consolidation: Gold’s surge this year culminated in an all‑time high around $4,381 on Oct. 20, before consolidating near $4,000. ^[10]
Demand backdrop: The World Gold Council reports Q3 global gold demand up ~3% YoY to 1,313t, a quarterly record, driven largely by investment (bars/coins and ETF inflows) and resilient central‑bank purchases. ^[11]
Official‑sector buying: Net central‑bank purchases remained elevated through September, reinforcing the longer‑term bid under prices. ^[12]

Today’s macro drivers in detail

Shutdown fallout & data vacuum: The prolonged U.S. government shutdown is delaying key economic releases — including nonfarm payrolls, with the White House also warning October CPI could be scrapped — pushing investors to rely on private‑sector signals. That uncertainty tends to support safe‑haven assets. ^[13]
Private‑sector labor signals: On Thursday, third‑party trackers flagged job‑market softness and companies announced a jump in layoff plans, helping push yields lower and bolstering bullion. ^[14]
Consumer psyche deteriorates: The University of Michigan survey’s drop to 50.3 underscores how the shutdown and sticky prices are weighing on households, typically a negative for risk assets and a mild positive for gold. ^[15]
Dollar & yields: The dollar was roughly flat on the week but eased into Friday; meanwhile, the 10‑year Treasury clustered just above 4%, a level that has repeatedly mattered for gold’s day‑to‑day swings. ^[16]

Gold price forecast — near term (next 1–2 weeks)

Baseline (range‑bound):$3,950–$4,100
With the dollar soft and yields capped near ~4%, gold likely oscillates around the $4,000 handle. Absent hard U.S. data, positioning and headlines (shutdown, geopolitical) may dominate. Probability: ~50%.

Bullish scenario:Break toward $4,120–$4,200
A deeper slide in yields and another step‑down in the dollar — paired with “risk‑off” equity moves and continued chatter about December rate cuts — could retest mid‑October highs. Probability: ~30%. ^[17]

Bearish scenario:Pullback toward $3,900–$3,950
A surprise improvement in private U.S. activity gauges, hawkish Fed‑speak, or any sign the shutdown is nearing resolution (lifting yields/dollar) could spark profit‑taking below $4,000. Probability: ~20%. ^[18]

Rationale across scenarios: Positioning remains long‑biased after a historic run, but central‑bank demand and elevated investment flows (per WGC) still provide medium‑term support on dips. ^[19]

What traders and investors should watch next

Policy path & probabilities: CME FedWatch probabilities for the December meeting; any shift meaningfully below or above ~two‑in‑three odds of a cut can move gold. ^[20]
Shutdown headlines: Every sign of progress (or escalation) can swing risk sentiment, the dollar and yields — and thus gold. ^[21]
High‑frequency U.S. indicators: With official data delayed, keep an eye on private labor, layoff and sentiment trackers that have recently weakened. ^[22]
Physical market differentials: Watch India discounts and China premiums as proxies for price‑sensitive jewelry and investment demand in the world’s largest consuming markets. ^[23]
Flows & holdings: Monthly updates from the World Gold Council and ETF providers for signs that investment demand remains resilient post‑October spike. ^[24]

Bottom line

Gold finished the U.S. session near $4,000/oz, buoyed by a softer dollar, slumping consumer sentiment and the lingering uncertainty of a record‑length government shutdown that has clouded the data picture. With December rate‑cut odds still leaning dovish and physical markets mixed (India discounts; moderating China premiums), the path of least resistance remains sideways‑to‑higher into next week — with event risk elevated. ^[25]

SoftBank Weighs Potential Takeover of Marvell Amid AI Hardware Push
November 8, 2025, 1:44 AM EST. SoftBank Group Corp. explored a potential takeover of US chipmaker Marvell Technology earlier this year, in what would have been the semiconductor industry's largest-ever deal. Masayoshi Son has long eyed Marvell as part of a strategy to profit from the AI boom, with overtures reported but terms not agreed. The discussions centered on a potential pairing with Arm Holdings, SoftBank's UK chip designer, though no active negotiations are underway. Marvell's stock rose as much as 5.5% after the Bloomberg report, leaving the company valued around $80 billion after a 16% decline this year. SoftBank has been expanding into AI infrastructure bets, including the acquisition of Ampere Computing, as rivals like Nvidia, Broadcom, and Arm ride demand for AI chips.
Kinetik Holdings (KNTK) Valuation Under Scrutiny After 2% Price Uptick
November 8, 2025, 1:22 AM EST. Kinetik Holdings (KNTK) posted a modest ~2% uptick, but the stock still contends with a tough backdrop: a 1-year total shareholder return of -35% amid commodity volatility. The latest fair value estimate of $49.92 marks the shares as undervalued relative to current prices, even as the stock trades at an elevated P/E ratio (103.1x) versus the industry (13.4x) and market peers (20.6x). Analysts flag that the valuation rests on bold forecasts and ambitious catalysts, including upcoming and completed infrastructure projects in the Northern Delaware Basin-notably Kings Landing-that could unlock higher treated gas volumes and fuel multi-year revenue growth. Risks include price swings and cost pressures. A full valuation breakdown explores whether the market has already priced in the narrative or if there's room for upside.
Longji Green Energy (601012) Q3'25 Loss Reduction and BC2.0 Expansion Supports Buy Rating
November 8, 2025, 1:20 AM EST. Longji Green Energy (601012) delivered another quarterly improvement in losses in Q3'25, though revenue declined YoY. Q1-Q3 revenue was 50.91B yuan (-13.1% YoY), with net income to mother turning positive in Q3 (+33.9% QoQ) to -0.83B yuan, and quarterly gross margin at 4.9%. Q3 silicon wafer exports ~12-13GW and battery module shipments ~22.58GW (BC modules ~6GW, up ~50%). BC2.0 capacity reached 35GW by end-Q3, with orders rising and HPBC2.0 aiming for 50GW.

The firm maintains its 25-26 profit forecast and a buy rating, though risks include intensified competition and policy shifts.
ServiceNow Announces 5-for-1 Stock Split: Is NOW Stock a Buy Now?
November 8, 2025, 1:18 AM EST. ServiceNow, a cornerstone of the enterprise AI era, just announced a 5-for-1 stock split that could broaden investor access. The company reported a Q3 earnings beat and reinforced its leadership in enterprise automation via the Now Platform. The split aims to boost liquidity amid a stock that's been pressured this year, down about 19% YTD. With shares trading at lofty multiples - around 90.8x forward earnings and 16.8x sales - some investors wonder if the split creates a longer-term entry point or signals continued confidence from management. Sentiment remains mixed as AI-driven demand sustains growth while the broader software cycle cools. Potential buyers are weighing the growth runway against valuation risk and the December shareholder vote.
