Gold slips under $4,000 with traders watching Fed signals

Gold slips under $4,000 with traders watching Fed signals

Gold dropped to its lowest in over seven months on Wednesday, slipping under $4,000 an ounce for a short stretch as the dollar gained and traders bet the Fed might raise rates again this year. Spot gold dropped 2.1% to $4,021.99 an ounce by 1405 GMT. U.S. gold futures were down 2.6% at $4,039.30. Gold slipped after the Fed kept rates steady last week and said inflation is still above its 2% target, blaming higher energy prices. Traders say a hawkish Fed—meaning it’s more likely to keep rates elevated or hike them—tends to weigh on gold, since bullion doesn’t pay interest.

TSMC trades close to highs before holiday as Taiex rides AI wave

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. headed into the Dragon Boat Festival holiday trading at record highs in Taipei. Its U.S.-listed ADR kept moving higher too, with buyers staying focused on AI chip-linked shares. The timing is key since TSMC makes up over 40% of Taiwan’s market cap. Its rise on Thursday put about 200 points on the Taiex benchmark, according to Focus Taiwan.

Gold Recovery Seen Hit by Fed Worries With Iran-Israel Ceasefire Cooling Market

Gold Recovery Seen Hit by Fed Worries With Iran-Israel Ceasefire Cooling Market

Gold held steady on Monday, recovering from an earlier slide. The metal found support on hopes Israel and Iran will pause hostilities, while a strong U.S. jobs report led traders to see rates staying higher for longer. Spot gold traded close to $4,344 an ounce on Kitco’s live market page after bullion hit $4,268.39 earlier, Reuters said, the weakest price since March 23. U.S. gold futures for August lost 0.2% to $4,356.50 in late-morning New York trading, according to Reuters.

Gold Holds Steady; Attention Turns to Jobs Week

Gold Holds Steady; Attention Turns to Jobs Week

Gold picked up late in the week, helping the metal steady up going into June. Still, it wasn’t enough to wipe out a monthly drop, with bullion stuck between ceasefire hopes and concern that U.S. rates will stay elevated. Spot markets didn’t open Sunday. By 5 p.m. New York on Friday, Kitco listed world spot gold at $4,538.30 bid and $4,540.30 ask, up 0.97% for the day. Prices had moved between $4,488.30 and $4,596.00 during the session.

Gold Drops on Dollar Gains, Wall Street Sinks as Yields Jump

Gold Drops on Dollar Gains, Wall Street Sinks as Yields Jump

Dollar climbs for fifth day, gold slips, Nasdaq breaks streak The dollar gained for a fifth day on Friday, while gold fell to its lowest in over a week. Higher oil prices, firm U.S. data and surging Treasury yields pushed investors to reconsider how the Federal Reserve could move next. U.S. stocks dropped, and the Nasdaq ended its six-week run of gains. Stocks had been pushing higher on tech strength, but the jump in inflation signals is starting to cut through. The 10-year Treasury yield hit a one-year high. Traders also boosted wagers on the Fed raising rates instead of cutting them later this year.

Gold Price Drop Deepens as Hot Inflation Shakes Fed Bets Before Trump-Xi Talks

Gold Price Drop Deepens as Hot Inflation Shakes Fed Bets Before Trump-Xi Talks

Gold slipped for a second straight session on Wednesday, with new U.S. inflation figures dampening hopes for rate cuts and keeping bullion under pressure. Spot prices dropped 0.6% to $4,686.99 an ounce as of 09:05 a.m. EDT, while U.S. gold futures edged up 0.2% to $4,694.70. Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals, attributed gold’s weakness over the last two days to markets increasingly bracing for “higher rates for longer.” Investors continued to keep an eye on the Trump-Xi meeting and ongoing tensions in the Middle East. This move is notable: gold doesn’t pay interest, so it typically loses ground when bond yields climb or traders see the Fed sticking with tighter policy. The Producer Price Index, which tracks wholesale inflation, posted a 1.4% jump for April—marking the sharpest monthly rise since March 2022. Nationwide senior economist Ben Ayers flagged the increase, saying it signals “further increases for consumer prices in May.”

GLD Gold ETF Alert: $12,000 Gold Call Meets Fresh Inflows and Crowding Risk

GLD Gold ETF Alert: $12,000 Gold Call Meets Fresh Inflows and Crowding Risk

Physically backed gold ETFs worldwide, which hold actual bullion and trade similarly to stocks, drew investor flows again in April. SPDR Gold Shares found itself under scrutiny following a sharp rally and a swift drop in bullion prices. According to the World Gold Council, these funds attracted $6.6 billion in new money last month, as gold prices rebound on renewed optimism for a possible U.S.-Iran peace agreement. The trade is being tugged in two directions right now. Gold’s getting a boost from softer oil prices and a weaker dollar, yet those same signs of easing inflation pressure highlight the puzzle: why are investors still shelling out for an asset with no yield? As of 9:08 a.m. EDT, spot gold climbed 1.1% to $4,740.42 an ounce; U.S. gold futures added 1.2%, reaching $4,749.20, according to Reuters.

Gold Price Today: Bullion Climbs as Dollar Drops and Jobs Report Looms

Gold pushed higher for the third session running on Thursday, lifted as the dollar softened and U.S. Treasury yields slipped. The metal’s rally has gathered momentum on optimism that Washington and Tehran may be edging closer to a peace agreement. Spot gold climbed 1% to $4,738.86 an ounce by 0728 GMT, tacking on more gains after Wednesday’s 3% surge. U.S. gold futures for June delivery added 1.2%, reaching $4,748.50.

Barrick Mining Stock Jumps 7% as Gold Rally Sets Up a Big May 11 Earnings Test

Barrick Mining Stock Jumps 7% as Gold Rally Sets Up a Big May 11 Earnings Test

Barrick Mining Corp. shares surged Wednesday as gold notched its highest level in over a week, setting a stronger stage for the miner ahead of its first-quarter update. That report, due in days, will show if the jump in bullion prices is actually translating into more robust cash flow. This comes just days before Barrick’s May 11 results, with the company also working to overhaul its North American gold operations. A strong quarter might support that narrative, but any stumble on costs or production would quickly overshadow gains from higher metal prices.

What Influences the Price of Gold? 9 Forces That Can Make Gold Explode — or Drop When Everyone Expects a Rally

What Influences the Price of Gold? 9 Forces That Can Make Gold Explode — or Drop When Everyone Expects a Rally

Gold isn’t just another metal; it trades like a hybrid—commodity, currency, risk barometer, and hedge against political chaos. It’s never as straightforward as just “supply and demand,” though those forces still count. Ask what really drives gold, and there’s always a tangle of answers. Take late 2025: gold surged above $4,000, marking the first time it held that level through the year’s close. Factors? Dollar softness, Fed chatter, and jittery politics all played their part, according to LBMA. Let's talk rates. Gold doesn't hand out interest—no coupon, no dividend, not even rent. When Treasury bills or deposits serve up a solid real yield, gold’s appeal shrinks. The Fed’s Chicago branch summed it up: “A rise in expected real rates” tends to weigh on gold prices, all else being equal. Sure, that catchall “all else equal” hides a lot, but it’s a handy guideline. Gold usually catches a break when real yields sag. If real yields head the other way, gold can slip—even if the headlines are full of worry.

Gold Price Today: The $4,700 Rally Faces Its First Big Fed Test

Gold Price Today: The $4,700 Rally Faces Its First Big Fed Test

Gold slipped under $4,700 an ounce on Monday, pressured by lingering oil and inflation jitters as U.S.-Israeli talks with Iran made no progress ahead of the Federal Reserve’s big week. Spot gold lost 0.6% to $4,682.13 by 1:50 p.m. EDT. U.S. June futures closed down 1% at $4,693.70. Silver, platinum, and palladium dropped as well. “A bit of a problem for gold and silver,” said TD Securities’ Bart Melek, pointing to uncertainty around reopening Hormuz. Policy risk is front and center. Fed officials look set to leave rates unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% on Wednesday, according to Reuters, but there’s also the question of whether persistent, energy-driven inflation could push them back into hiking mode. Gold, which doesn’t pay interest, tends to lose some appeal when rates are high—even if safe-haven demand runs strong.

Gold Price Faces a $4,700 Test as Oil Shock Revives Rate Fears

Gold Price Faces a $4,700 Test as Oil Shock Revives Rate Fears

Gold slipped 0.2% to $4,685.23 an ounce by 0744 GMT on Friday, tracking toward its first weekly drop in five weeks. Oil-fueled inflation jitters pushed up the dollar and sent bond yields higher, taking some shine off bullion’s safe-haven status. U.S. June gold futures dropped 0.5% to $4,700.50. This shift is notable: gold isn’t just riding on fear anymore. As crude climbs, cost pressures ripple out—fuel, freight, factories—pushing inflation risks higher. Central banks could stay hawkish. And with yields up, cash and bonds start looking less easy to sideline, since gold doesn’t throw off interest.

Gold Price Today Slips as Dollar, Oil Shock Put $5,000 Forecast in Doubt

Gold Price Today Slips as Dollar, Oil Shock Put $5,000 Forecast in Doubt

Gold slipped Monday, with spot prices hitting a one-week low as strength in the dollar and a bump in oil prices took the shine off bullion. By 9:23 a.m. EDT, spot gold had dropped 0.3% to $4,818.03 an ounce. June U.S. gold futures lost 0.8%, settling at $4,839.10. Gold usually finds buyers during geopolitical flare-ups, but inflation is tugging prices lower this time. U.S.-Iran tensions have lifted oil roughly 5%, stoking worries that higher energy prices may keep inflation stubborn and rates elevated.

Gold Price Near $4,830 Faces Monday Test After Hormuz Reversal Revives Safe-Haven Risk

Gold Price Near $4,830 Faces Monday Test After Hormuz Reversal Revives Safe-Haven Risk

Gold kicks off Monday carrying a renewed risk premium, as Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend rattled markets and threatened to wipe out Friday’s relief gains—throwing bullion’s recent rally into sharper focus. Spot gold’s latest quote from Kitco showed $4,829.40 an ounce, ask side at $4,831.40. The market shut its doors following Friday’s session, where gold briefly touched $4,889.60.

Gold Price Today: Bullion Slips After One-Month High as Dollar Firms, Iran Talks Stay in Focus

Gold Price Today: Bullion Slips After One-Month High as Dollar Firms, Iran Talks Stay in Focus

Gold slipped from a one-month high on Wednesday, with spot prices losing 0.9% to $4,798.89 an ounce by 1:31 p.m. ET. U.S. gold futures finished 0.5% lower at $4,823.60. The retreat followed a sharp 2% rally the previous day, as bullion lost momentum once the dollar found its footing and concerns over rates resurfaced. The shift is notable: gold, often billed as a safe haven when markets get rattled, isn’t acting like a pure fear barometer at this point. Its price action is tangled up with moves in oil, the dollar, and what traders expect from the Federal Reserve. Any of those can weigh on gold, especially if bets are on inflation pushing rates up and keeping them there.

Gold Price Today: Bullion Near $4,762 After Weekly Gain, but Failed Iran Talks Cloud Outlook

Gold Price Today: Bullion Near $4,762 After Weekly Gain, but Failed Iran Talks Cloud Outlook

Gold is starting the week just about where it ended Friday, holding on to a third consecutive weekly advance. Spot gold finished Friday at $4,761.79 an ounce, unchanged in late trade, with U.S. gold futures closing at $4,787.40. Silver added 1.6%. Platinum dropped 2.3%, and palladium gave up 1.9%. The key issue isn’t how things ended Friday, but what’s ahead. U.S.-Iran negotiations in Islamabad wrapped up Sunday with no agreement, casting fresh uncertainty over both the ceasefire and the Strait of Hormuz. Gold, as ever, drew attention as a classic safe-haven play for investors on edge.

Gold Price This Week: Bullion Rebounds From Four-Month Low as Fed Fears Keep Market on Edge

Gold Price This Week: Bullion Rebounds From Four-Month Low as Fed Fears Keep Market on Edge

Gold snapped back this week, jumping 2.6% Friday to close at $4,491.78 an ounce, erasing some losses after Monday’s tumble to a four-month low at $4,097.99. That rebound wrapped up a volatile week where spot prices whipsawed between about $4,100 and $4,600, with traders shifting gears from rate jitters to eyeing bargains. Gold isn’t following its usual safe-haven playbook, weighed down by surging oil and rising rates. Crude sits above $110 a barrel, the dollar index comes in at 100.17, and U.S. 10-year yields are parked at 4.438%. That’s kept investors leaning into bets on a more hawkish Fed stance. Since gold doesn’t pay interest, those higher Treasury yields make it less attractive.

Gold Prices Rebound 2% as U.S.-Iran Talk Hopes Send Oil Lower

Gold Prices Rebound 2% as U.S.-Iran Talk Hopes Send Oil Lower

Gold snapped higher by more than 2% Wednesday, clawing its way back after hitting a four-month trough. Hints of potential U.S.-Iran talks sent oil tumbling, easing some pressure from inflation worries. Spot gold—considered the industry’s cash reference—rose 2.4% to $4,582.18 an ounce as of 1141 GMT. April U.S. futures fared even better, adding 4.1% to $4,581.60. This shift is notable—bullion isn’t just acting as a basic war hedge anymore. Lately, price action has mirrored sentiment around oil, inflation, and rates. When crude rises, central banks tend to stick with tighter policy, which weighs on gold since it doesn’t yield any income.
