On Tuesday morning, September 8, 2026, Asian session trading saw a clear polarization across financial markets. The gold market faced downward pressure on Monday, with spot gold trading around $4,412/oz. This was primarily driven by last Friday’s US August non-farm payrolls report, which far exceeded expectations. The data not only boosted US Treasury yields significantly but also fueled market bets on a potential Fed rate hike resumption in September. Combined with reduced market liquidity due to the US Labor Day holiday, long positions took profits at elevated levels. Short-term momentum shows a fierce tug-of-war near the $4,400 mark; if hawkish Fed expectations continue to build, gold may experience further technical downside.

In stark contrast to gold’s weakness, the energy market surged following a sudden flare-up in geopolitical crisis. US crude oil jumped over 1%, stabilizing above $92.60/bbl and touching a six-week high. Escalating tension in the Middle East served as the main catalyst, with Iran issuing explicit warnings that it would target regional energy infrastructure if struck further. Concerns over supply disruptions instantly reignited market sentiment. Supported by both supply contraction risks and geopolitical risk premiums, short-term oil bulls remain strong, with room for further upside toward higher resistance levels.
