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]

India gold rate today (9 Nov 2025)

Additional trackers covering India’s city‑wise prices are also flashing broadly similar bands today (e.g., GoodReturns and DNA India round‑ups). [13]


Key levels and context traders are watching

  • Recent extremes:Record high on Oct 20: $4,381.6/oz; a sharp pullback followed as profit‑taking kicked in. [15]
  • Positioning & demand currents: Central‑bank buying and investment flows stayed firm into Q3, while jewellery demand lagged at higher prices, per World Gold Council tallies summarized by Reuters. [16]

This week’s gold calendar (all times ET)

  • Thu, Nov 13—U.S. CPI (Oct) at 08:30 (BLS). [17]
  • Fri, Nov 14—U.S. PPI (Oct) at 08:30 (BLS). [18]
  • Wed, Nov 19—FOMC minutes (Oct 28–29 meeting) at 14:00 (Fed). [19]

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]

Stock Market Today

  • Stewart Information Services Valuation After a 6% Monthly Gain (STC)
    November 9, 2025, 8:54 AM EST. STC has climbed about 6% over the past month to roughly $71.40, with YTD up 8.5% and a three-year TSR near 94%. A current narrative points to a fair value of $78 per share, implying the stock could be undervalued despite the rally. The name trades at a P/E of 19.6x, higher than the US Insurance industry average 13.2x and above its own historical target, suggesting the market is pricing in stronger growth. Catalysts include strategic acquisitions in targeted MSAs and expanded agency services that could lift margins and operating income. Risks include housing-market uncertainty and rising costs that could temper forecasts. For Stewart Information Services investors, the question is whether the forward growth case justifies the current multiple on STC.
  • Canaan (CAN) Valuation Rebound: Is the 1.19 Price Undervalued vs $2.98 Fair Value?
    November 9, 2025, 8:52 AM EST. Canaan has seen a sharp 1-month rebound of about 9%, but a negative 1-year total return of -5.6% keeps the longer-term momentum subdued. The stock trades well below the bull case fair value of $2.98 per share vs. a recent close near $1.19, highlighting a potential undervaluation at current prices. Analysts' optimism hinges on strategic expansion into North America and Malaysia, diversification of sales channels, and a margin turnaround, though risks include Bitcoin mining exposure and regulatory shifts. With shares trading under consensus targets, the narrative suggests potential upside if growth assumptions materialize, while the balance of risks warrants caution. Investors may want to examine the underlying forecasts and alternative scenarios before deciding whether the rebound reflects a genuine reset or near-term momentum.
  • Visteon Corporation: Intrinsic Value Indicates ~26% Upside to $107 Stock (2-Stage DCF)
    November 9, 2025, 8:38 AM EST. Visteon Corporation's DCF analysis implies an intrinsic value of US$143 per share, versus a US$107 market price, signaling about a 26% undervaluation. The model uses a two-stage FCF-to-equity approach, projecting 2026-2035 levered Free Cash Flow and discounting at a cost of equity of 8.7% to a PVCF of roughly US$1.6 billion. The Terminal Value uses a Gordon growth formula with a long-term growth rate of about 3.3%. The results also show the intrinsic value is about 7.3% higher than the street's target of US$134. While DCF is just one method to estimate value, it underscores potential upside if cash flows materialize as projected. Source: Simply Wall St.
  • Global Mofy AI: ROE and Growth Points for GMM Investors
    November 9, 2025, 8:35 AM EST. Global Mofy AI (GMM) has fallen 31% over the last three months, yet its long-term earnings trend looks encouraging. The ROE stands at 14%, calculated as US$6.9m net profit over US$49m equity, and it comfortably exceeds the industry average of 12%. The company has posted 62% net income growth over the past five years, outpacing the industry's 38% growth. A likely low payout ratio and efficient management could support future expansion, though investors should assess whether this growth is already priced in via valuation metrics such as the P/E ratio. Overall, higher ROE and retained earnings hint at stronger earnings growth potential, but stock price action warrants cautious consideration.
  • Lantronix, Inc. (LTRX): Has the DCF Overvaluation Erased the Buy Opportunity?
    November 9, 2025, 8:32 AM EST. Lantronix, Inc. (LTRX) recently drew attention after a price rally on NASDAQCM, but a DCF valuation suggests the stock is overvalued by 40% relative to its intrinsic value of about $3.61 vs a market price near $5.03. In other words, the immediate buying opportunity may have faded. The stock's high beta implies continued volatility, meaning prices could retreat if sentiment shifts. On the upside, analysts expect revenue growth in the teens next year, which could improve cash flows and long-term value if costs don't outpace growth. For current holders, selling into strength and waiting for a pullback could be prudent; new entrants should assess whether fundamentals have changed before buying.
