Gold bias flipped 43 times to neutral on September 1, 2026
Gold is under pressure as expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike rise, partly fueled by hawkish remarks from officials like Warsh and Barr, with market odds of a hike climbing to 70%. Higher oil prices from US-Iran strikes are stoking inflation concerns, which have pushed Treasury yields and the US dollar higher, diminishing gold's appeal. The metal has dropped to near two-week lows, erasing its 2026 gains, while silver is declining even more sharply.
