Gold news for August 9, 2026

Gold is being supported by expectations of dovish Federal Reserve policy, which has weighed on the dollar and Treasury yields, alongside strong demand from Chinese investors and central banks. Fresh momentum came from a weaker US jobs report showing a loss of 23,000 jobs, adding to bullion's appeal. While Middle East de-escalation has reduced some safe-haven demand, upcoming US CPI data remains a key risk that could affect the metal's trajectory.
