Gold news for September 22, 2026
Gold has drifted lower to near $4,350 as hawkish Federal Reserve expectations have kept the U.S. dollar bid, countering sliding U.S. bond yields. Trading has also been shaped by geopolitics, including hopes around Iran diplomacy and peace talks alongside Middle East tensions and focus on the Trump-Xi summit, while a decline in oil has limited losses.
