🟡 Gold slides toward $4,100; silver drops nearly 6% after hot CPI

Gold settled at $4,104.50 (-1.34%)—still above $4,100—while silver fell to $55.51 (-5.99%). September CPI came in hotter than expected: headline inflation rose 0.6% m/m and 3.7% y/y; core was 0.3% m/m and 2.6% y/y. Yields moved toward 5.27%, the dollar firmed, and October Fed hike odds climbed to around 40%. The Nasdaq fell 1.9%, while oil remained elevated amid Hormuz and Houthi-related risks.

Levels to watch :
🥇Gold: Support $4,072–$4,066, then $4,004. Resistance $4,114, then $4,134–$4,142.
🥈Silver: Support $55.27–$55.00. Resistance $56.00, then $56.55–$57.64.

PPI, retail sales and jobless claims are up next. Softer data could ease yield pressure; another hot reading may keep metals capped. After a sharp sell-off, I’d wait for the data reaction and confirmation at these levels rather than chase.
