Gold news for September 17, 2026

Gold fell to fresh one-month and six-week lows around the Federal Reserve decision as the U.S. dollar held its post-Fed gains, then rebounded toward near $4,350 on a weaker dollar and falling oil prices, including a move of over $100 as crisis headlines intensified. Activity has also been linked to U.S. jobless claims data and Middle East and Iran-related risks, with discussion of whether the market overreacted to the Fed decision and the threat.
