Gold bias flipped 25 times to weak bullish on October 1, 2026
Gold is holding near $4,150 and below $4,200 as higher Treasury and real yields pressure prices at times, while retreating bond yields, a softer dollar and cooler PCE inflation have provided support. Traders are also watching upcoming US payrolls, dovish comments from Fed's Williams and renewed US-Iran deal hopes, with data pointing to the most volatile year for gold since 1982.
