Gold bias flipped 18 times to neutral on September 15, 2026
Gold started the week lower, trading flat above $4,300 as a firmer U.S. dollar capped moves amid hawkish central bank bets. Pressure followed hotter U.S. inflation data and rising energy and oil prices, which strengthened expectations for Fed rate hikes. Traders are now focused on the upcoming Fed verdict, with attention on CTA liquidation, dip-buying activity, and tests of critical thresholds.
