Gold is currently caught between strong geopolitical tailwinds and the headwind of a resilient dollar and rising real yields. While central bank buying and supply constraints provide a solid floor, the market is waiting for the next inflation print to determine if the Fed will remain hawkish. Watch for any further escalation in the Middle East, which could quickly override interest rate concerns.
Events weighed
- •Oct 14 — US September CPI: A hot print would likely boost yields and pressure gold.
- •Oct 28 — Fed Rate Decision: Market focus is on whether the Fed hikes or holds.
