Gold bias flipped 26 times to bearish on September 21, 2026
Gold has edged lower toward near $4,350 as hawkish Federal Reserve bets and comments have kept the US dollar bid. Market focus is on Fedspeak, weekly ADP figures and the Trump-Xi summit, with Middle East tensions and a decline in oil also mentioned as factors around recent moves. Price action is described as struggling to hold above the 20-day moving average.
