Gold price today: Bullion slips from record highs as dollar firms and U.S. inflation data looms

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 06:09 EST — Premarket Gold prices pulled back on Thursday after climbing to record highs over three sessions, as easing tensions around Greenland pushed investors toward riskier bets and the dollar found some footing. Spot gold slipped 0.3% to $4,824.18 an ounce by 1017 GMT, dipping nearly 1% earlier in the session. Meanwhile, U.S. gold futures for February edged down 0.2% to $4,826. ActivTrades’ Ricardo Evangelista pointed to a “return of risk appetite” denting demand for the safe haven. Still, Henrik Marx of Heraeus Precious Metals sees the bigger picture as bullish, suggesting $5,000 to $5,200 could be within reach soon.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service plans to kick off the 2026 tax filing season on Jan. 26, aiming to shift refunds from paper checks to electronic payments.

Even minor errors — a missing W-2 or an incorrect account number — can delay refunds by weeks.

Sensex Bounce Fades After Trump Tariff U-Turn: Why Nifty Still Can’t Hold 25,300

Sensex Bounce Fades After Trump Tariff U-Turn: Why Nifty Still Can’t Hold 25,300

Indian share indexes climbed Thursday, snapping a three-day losing streak after U.S. President Donald Trump backed off tariff threats targeting eight European nations and dismissed any plans to use force over Greenland. The Nifty 50 gained 0.53% to 25,289.90, while the Sensex rose 0.49% to 82,307.37 in late trade. https://www.reuters.com/world/india/indian-shares-seen-higher-trump-eases-greenland-stance-drops-eu-tariff-threat-2026-01-22/ The bounce is significant given the market’s jittery run: trade tensions, geopolitical issues, uneven earnings, and a slumping rupee have all spooked traders into shedding risk. Despite Thursday’s gains, benchmarks remain roughly 3.3% lower for January. The past three sessions alone have sliced around 2% off the Sensex and Nifty.
