Where gold stands right now (9 Nov 2025)
With spot markets shut on Sunday, traders are working off Friday’s close and weekend dealer indications. Reuters reported spot gold around $4,005/oz late Friday, while December COMEX settled at $4,009.80/oz. Investing.com’s daily table shows a $3,999.72/oz close, high $4,027.63, low $3,974.41. Early Sunday dealer quotes were still clustered just above $4,000/oz. [5]
The bigger picture
Gold is consolidating roughly 9% below October’s all‑time high (~$4,381/oz) after a volatile month fueled by safe‑haven flows and shifting Fed expectations. [6]
What’s moving the price today
- Federal Reserve backdrop: The Fed lowered the funds rate by 25 bps on Oct 29 and signaled caution given data gaps during the U.S. shutdown—supportive for non‑yielding assets like gold. Markets are debating odds of another cut in December. [7]
- U.S. data week ahead: The October CPI prints Thursday, Nov 13 (08:30 a.m. ET)—the marquee macro event for bullion this week. A softer read would typically reinforce rate‑cut bets and the case for gold. [8]
- China lens: Sunday’s data showed factory‑gate deflation easing and CPI back in positive territory, a mix that can sway industrial and investment demand for precious metals. Separately, China trimmed a long‑standing VAT exemption to 6% for some retail gold purchases from Nov 1, a shift that has cooled parts of the physical market. [9]
- Physical markets (Asia): In India, post‑festival demand has softened, widening dealer discounts to as much as $14/oz versus official domestic prices this week; China premiums narrowed as activity cooled. [10]

This week’s gold calendar (all times ET)

How to read today’s setup
- Bullish case: If CPI cools and the dollar softens further, bullion has room to re‑test the early‑November highs above $4,020/oz and potentially stretch toward late‑October resistance bands. [20]
- Bearish case: A firm CPI and pushback on December cut odds could nudge gold back toward Friday’s $3,974/oz low or last week’s downdraft levels near $3,940–$3,960/oz seen earlier in the week. [21]
