Gold bias flipped 17 times to bullish on October 6, 2026
Gold fell to a two-month low before rebounding and has since held around the $4,100 to $4,150 area. The moves come as shifting expectations around Federal Reserve policy meet a stronger U.S. dollar at a fresh year-to-date peak and elevated Treasury yields. The unusual combination of rising gold alongside a rising dollar and high yields has put focus on whether gold can defend those levels as traders trim bets on Fed rate hikes.
