Gold bias flipped 37 times to bullish on September 3, 2026
Gold has been supported by a weaker US dollar on speculation of yen intervention and dovish comments from Fed's Waller, which reduced rate hike expectations. However, upside appears limited by ongoing Fed rate hike risks and geopolitical tensions, with traders now awaiting US CPI data for clearer direction. Despite a recent pullback, some commentary suggests gold's broader uptrend may still have room to continue.
