MORNING BRIEF | GOLD CLOSES AT $4,285; HORMUZ IN FOCUS

September 27, 2026

Gold’s reference close was $4,285/oz, up 0.24%. Lower oil and a softer DXY helped the metal recover, but the U.S. 10-year yield at 5.165% capped the rebound.

BTC traded at $84,346, up 0.34%; ETH was $2,693.95 and SOL $121.36. Silver closed 0.68% higher at $64.26.

WTI fell 2.33% to $92.41 and Brent lost 2.14% to $104.32. The S&P 500 gained 0.51%; Vietnam’s VN-Index added 0.56%.

After markets closed, President Trump confirmed he rejected Iran’s seven-day proposal to reopen Hormuz. Gold and oil have no direct reaction yet.

Traditional markets are closed today. Next: Monday’s open and the Dallas Fed survey at 21:30 ICT.
