Bullish for Gold
Fed Dovish Pivot Boosts Gold
Stable
Steady attention in Gold coverage, without a clear trend.
Updated 13 October 2026
The bullish argument: Fed Chair Warsh's recent communications have signaled a less aggressive stance on interest rate hikes, reducing market expectations for imminent monetary tightening and providing support to gold prices. Lower oil prices have also eased inflation concerns, reinforcing the view that rate hike urgency has diminished and creating a more favorable environment for non-yielding assets like gold.
