Gold

Bullish Sep 25, 2026, 8:25 PM

4,290 holds as new structural floor — gold up 0.36% with silver +0.8% confirming broad metals bid; USD/JPY -1.0% signals dollar softness that historically drives XAU/USD higher.

↗ 0.00% · 24h · USD

Key insight

4,290 acts as intraday pivot; break above 4,320 resistance opens 4,400 round-number target. Dollar softness (EUR/USD 1.1393, USD/JPY -1.0%) and oil at $92.3 sustain the inflation-hedge bid.

Main risk

USD/JPY reversal above 158

Reversal above 158 on USD/JPY snaps dollar-softness narrative and removes key bullish tailwind underpinning gold at 4,290.
