Gold fell below US$4,100 an ounce on Wednesday, touching its lowest level since early August, after stronger-than-expected US inflation prompted investors to reassess the Fed’s rate outlook. Driven by higher energy prices, annual US inflation climbed to 3.7% in September, above the 3.6% forecast. Monthly CPI rose 0.6%, the largest increase in five months; core CPI also exceeded expectations, rising 2.6% year on year and 0.3% month on month. According to London Stock Exchange Group data, markets assigned roughly a 50% chance to the Fed holding rates steady in October, down from more than 78% before the release. The implied probability of a December rate hike, meanwhile, rose from 88% to nearly 99%. Although recent Fed communications had offered little indication of another consecutive increase in October, the upside surprise in core CPI brought that possibility back into focus, weighing on non-yielding gold.

Wall Street closed mixed Monday as investors awaited major bank earnings and crucial U.S. inflation reports. The S&P 500 slipped 0.1%, Nasdaq fell 0.4%, and Dow gained 0.4%. Technology stocks weakened, led by Micron’s 3.9% decline amid competitive pressures and potential Taiwanese labor unrest. Meta rose 3.4% on enthusiasm for new AI models, while Salesforce gained 2.1% following a Bank of America upgrade. Oil prices increased amid Middle East and Ukraine tensions. This week’s JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs and other bank results, alongside CPI and PPI releases, will offer clues about consumer resilience, credit conditions and the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate outlook.

On Thursday, gold prices hovered around $4,130 per ounce, remaining close to the two-month low hit on Wednesday, as investors assessed the minutes of the Federal Reserve's September meeting for clues regarding the interest rate outlook. The US dollar held near an 18-month high, while US Treasury yields remained close to levels not seen in over two decades. The minutes revealed that all 19 policymakers supported the September rate hike, with the majority deeming another hike before year-end appropriate. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the market currently assigns a probability of nearly 17% for an October rate hike and over 85% for a hike in December. Rising interest rates diminish the appeal of non-yielding gold. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions continue to support some demand for safe-haven assets. Shipping data indicates that the number of vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz has dropped to its lowest level in over two months as regional hostilities escalate.

The U.S. trade deficit widened sharply in August as imports surged amid strong demand for AI-related goods and shifting tariff policies, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday.
Imports rose 4.3%, pushing the trade deficit to $105.6 billion, up 13.7% from July and above economists’ expectations of $102 billion. This marked the largest deficit since March 2025, just before President Donald Trump announced his reciprocal tariffs.
Despite the increase, economists view the figures as a sign of strong domestic demand rather than economic weakness. However, the widening deficit could weigh on third-quarter GDP growth, prompting Goldman Sachs to lower its growth forecast to 3.1% and the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow estimate to 3.7%.

Third-quarter earnings season is getting underway, with Delta, Pepsi and Levi Strauss reporting this week before major banks including JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America kick off the main reporting period next week.
Analyst sentiment has strengthened, with S&P 500 earnings-per-share estimates raised by 1.3% during the quarter. FactSet expects S&P 500 companies to deliver 12.1% year-over-year revenue growth and 29.1% earnings growth in Q3. If achieved, it would mark the third consecutive quarter of earnings growth above 25%, reinforcing expectations that strong corporate momentum could support equities despite a volatile macro backdrop.

Oil prices rose in September amidst the ongoing US-Iran standoff, with Brent crude gaining nearly 3% and WTI crude rising over 1.56%. Despite a slight recovery in Middle Eastern crude exports, Iran raised the alert level for 46 infrastructure sites; meanwhile, the Iranian Foreign Minister received feedback from the US in Doha, though differences remain regarding the "seven-day proposal." WTI crude is currently trading near $89 per barrel. Qatar expressed hope on Tuesday for a breakthrough in shuttle diplomacy between Tehran and Washington, though US President Trump denied reports by Axios and CNN—which cited US officials claiming Trump was willing to ease sanctions and unfreeze Iranian funds in exchange for "concrete" actions on Tehran's nuclear program. On Tuesday, Saudi Arabia resumed tanker loading at the Red Sea port of Yanbu following the restart of the East-West Pipeline. The restoration of crude supplies should alleviate price pressures stemming from supply constraints; however, persistent shortages of refined products and high freight costs may keep the broader energy market tight. Data released by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Wednesday showed that US gasoline inventories fell by 1.7 million barrels last week to 204.4 million barrels.
