According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data released for September 2026, the latest inflation reading of 3.7% defied expectations and brought the specter of a hawkish Fed policy back into focus.
Yet gold’s price action showed remarkable resilience, steering clear of a collapse.
• Rebound after pressure: Gold bounced back strongly and steadied, weathering pressure from the dollar and bond yields.
• Markets are recalibrating their expectations as inflation remains above target, putting gold under the spotlight as a key hedging tool.
• Holding above current support levels confirms that the recent pullbacks were merely a shakeout, not a change in the broader trend.
Do you think gold’s current rebound is enough to take it back to its highs, or will the rate shock keep it trading in a volatile range?
