Gold bias flipped 26 times to neutral on September 30, 2026
Gold fell sharply by about 3-4% to a two-month low around $4,110, with headlines attributing the drop to climbing bond yields, including the ten-year topping 5.25%, rather than Iran-related risks. Prices then steadied below $4,200 as bond yields retreated, the U.S. dollar softened and an oil rout eased inflation pressures, while traders assessed the Federal Reserve outlook and Middle East risks amid disagreement on Wall Street over the cause of the decline.
