Gold prices held steady above $4,300, while oil prices retreated but yields remained high.

Gold prices fell during Monday's (September 21) early U.S. trading session, while silver prices edged lower. High U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger dollar offset safe-haven buying support from tensions between the U.S. and Iran and restrictions on navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Spot gold traded around $4,347.67 per ounce, down 0.69% on the day; spot silver was at $66.230, down 0.04% on the day.

Behind Gold's Weekly Positive Chart: Oil Price Decline Provides Support, Central Bank Tightening Continues to Be Recorded

On Monday, September 21, spot gold was trading around $4,350 per ounce. In the past week, spot gold recorded its first weekly gain in nearly a month. The Federal Reserve raised the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 3.75% to 4.00% on September 16, and the Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to 1.25% on September 18, the highest level in approximately 31 years. Brent crude oil has retreated from its mid-month high to around $102 per barrel, while the US dollar index is trading above the 100 mark.

Oil prices fell amid hawkish expectations from the Federal Reserve, while silver hovered around $66; caution is advised against another pullback.

Silver traded in a narrow range around $66 on Monday. Falling oil prices eased inflationary pressures, providing some support for precious metals, but hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve limited upside potential. Short-term focus is on support at $65.20 and resistance at $71.10.

Hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve have dampened gold's gains, and gold is maintaining a range-bound trading pattern.

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points and signaled the possibility of further rate hikes this year, keeping the US dollar and US Treasury yields strong, putting pressure on spot gold which fell back to around $4365. Short-term focus is on the $4410 resistance level and the $4320 support level.

Gold prices withstood the Fed's rate hikes and held key support levels; with interest rates taking a backseat, what is the core contradiction?

Despite the Federal Reserve raising interest rates and signaling further tightening, and the 10-year Treasury yield approaching 5%, gold withstood the negative news and held its support, ending a three-week losing streak. Many analysts believe that short-term interest rate changes are now a secondary factor; structural forces such as US fiscal risk and global reserve reallocation are the core support for gold prices. Gold ETF holdings rose to a seven-month high, but the market still faces key technical resistance. Speeches by Fed officials and US manufacturing data this week may cause volatility.

Institutions predict gold prices will reach $4,750 in the fourth quarter and $5,250 in the third quarter of next year, while copper prices will simultaneously enjoy a long-term upward trend.

Societe Generale's latest portfolio adjustment strategy shows that it will continue to overweight equities and commodities, reduce government bond holdings, and remain bullish on gold and copper prices in the fourth quarter. Supported by geopolitical tensions, doubts about the dollar's credibility, and continued central bank gold purchases, gold has ample upside potential, with institutions giving a target of up to $5250/ounce. Meanwhile, AI infrastructure development is driving copper demand, and a long-term supply shortage is expected to keep copper prices steadily rising. Furthermore, the increasing risk of interest payments on US debt further weakens the value of Treasury bonds and benefits commodity assets.

Gold Outlook: Depends on shifts in oil prices and Fed expectations

Gold's upward momentum waned as it approached $4,400, with expectations of a hawkish Federal Reserve policy supporting a stronger dollar. Developments in the Middle East and speeches by Fed officials will likely dominate gold's next move.

Gold and silver continued their rebound: oil prices and yields fell after the Fed raised interest rates.

Gold and silver prices rose during the early US trading session on Friday (September 18). A combination of factors, including declining international crude oil prices, falling US Treasury yields, and a weaker dollar, propelled precious metals to continue their rebound following the Fed's interest rate hike. Spot gold traded around $4,356.09 per ounce, up 0.33%; spot silver was quoted at $66.355, up 1.72% on the day.

Gold stuck below the $4400 mark: Who is repricing the discount rate after the Fed's rate hike?

On Friday, September 18th, spot gold traded amidst a volatile session following the Federal Reserve's first rate hike in three years, currently fluctuating around $4370, up about 0.6% on the day, still some distance from the $4400 mark. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury note remained near 4.96%, having reached a weekly high of 5.04%. US crude oil retreated from its highs and is currently trading around $97. The simultaneous reshaping of interest rate paths, energy premiums, and the cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets within the same week constitutes the core contradiction in the current gold price.

Next Week's Hot Topics Preview: Central Bank Officials from Multiple Countries Speak Out in Succession

With the Federal Reserve's blackout period ending and a flurry of statements from officials in various countries coupled with a series of economic data releases, the market awaits policy signals.

Oil prices are still heading towards $100, but gold has already touched a one-week high. What are the bulls guarding against? Anyone with eyes can see it.

On Friday (September 18), Saudi Arabia's old lifeline bypassing the Hormuz was disrupted, and European customers' Saudi crude oil quotas for next month were completely cancelled. However, oil prices actually fell from the week's high and remained above $100: the supply disruption is real, and the expectation of a recovery is also real. The market is swinging back and forth between the two truths, and no one dares to make any definitive statements.

The gold-silver ratio has returned to around 65; what has silver corrected in this round?

On Friday, September 18th, spot silver underwent a sharp price correction in the consecutive trading days following the Federal Reserve's decision. The Fed recently raised the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 3.75% to 4.00%, marking the first rate hike since 2023. Spot silver had earlier fallen below $63/ounce, but subsequently rebounded rapidly as the market reinterpreted the Fed's dot plot, crude oil prices retreated from their highs, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell from around 5%. Spot silver is currently trading around $67/ounce, having rebounded more than 6% from its recent low.

Easing geopolitical tensions reduced oil price risks, and multiple macroeconomic factors combined to drive gold prices higher against the trend.

Why did gold prices rise despite all the unfavorable factors?

2026-09-18 18:00:11

Falling oil prices cooled US Treasury yields, while silver rebounded sharply, returning to the upper edge of its trading range.

Saudi Arabia's push to resume the East-West pipeline caused oil prices to fall, and easing inflation concerns pushed the yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond down to around 4.93%. Silver rebounded for the second consecutive day, rising to around $67. However, hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve continued to limit the upside potential for silver prices.

Gold prices were supported by buying for two consecutive days, but a hawkish Federal Reserve and geopolitical risks limited upside potential.

Gold attracted some buyers for the second consecutive day, but lacked bullish sentiment. Falling U.S. Treasury yields pressured the dollar, supporting commodities. A hawkish Federal Reserve and turmoil in the Middle East limited the dollar's downside, thus limiting the upside potential of precious metals.

2026-09-18 14:04:10

Falling oil prices eased inflationary pressures, causing gold to rebound above $4,300 and return to the upper limit of its trading range.

Gold rebounded to around $4,360 in early Asian trading on Friday, recovering from a six-week low. A drop in oil prices to a one-week low and a weaker dollar improved the short-term environment for gold, but the Federal Reserve's hawkish policy stance and the increased probability of another rate hike in October (53.1%) mean that gold's rebound still faces constraints from both yields and the dollar.
