🚨 GOLD SLIDES BELOW $4,100 — FED HAWKISH SIGNALS WEIGH
Gold briefly fell to a two-month low after the latest FOMC Minutes showed most Federal Reserve officials expect another rate hike before the end of 2026.
🔑 Key Points:
• XAU/USD briefly hit ~$4,066
• Gold fell more than 1% during the session
• Most Fed officials see another hike as appropriate this year
• U.S. 10Y Treasury yield reached ~5.365%
• December rate-hike expectations remain elevated
• China’s central bank extended its gold-buying streak to 23 consecutive months
📊 Market Insight:
Higher-for-longer rate expectations, elevated Treasury yields and a stronger U.S. dollar are creating short-term pressure on gold. However, continued central-bank buying remains an important structural support for bullion.
