Gold news for September 23, 2026
Gold has declined as bets on Federal Reserve rate hikes lifted the U.S. dollar to a two-month high, with reports pointing to dollar strength rather than demand as the driver. Price action has also reflected shifting geopolitical headlines, including Iran diplomacy hopes, peace hopes, Hormuz uncertainty, and Xi's visit to Washington, with traders awaiting new U.S.-Iran developments and key U.S. data around the $4,300 level.
