August 26, 2026 \u2014 Global commodity markets experienced severe volatility. In Wednesday\u2019s early Asian session, spot gold traded near $4,653\/oz. In the previous session, gold displayed strong bullish momentum, briefly spiking to $4,696.59\/oz to hit a fresh three-month high. However, as prices approached the $4,700 psychological barrier and a strong resistance zone, buying momentum waned, sparking profit-taking that led to a short-term pullback. Meanwhile, investors are closely assessing the U.S. Treasury\u2019s decision to double the scale of its long-term bond buyback operations. The interplay between market liquidity and safe-haven flows has heightened volatility in gold at elevated levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In contrast, energy markets faced concentrated selling pressure, with WTI crude oil tumbling over 4.55% on Tuesday. This sharp decline was primarily driven by a rapid unwind of the geopolitical risk premium: markets generally viewed the latest U.S. sanctions on Iran as lighter than expected, while reports of an imminent U.S.-Iran ceasefire directly eroded supply-side concerns. In the near term, if Middle Eastern tensions continue to ease, downside pressure on oil will remain significant. For gold, after absorbing Treasury policy shifts and resistance-level profit-taking, subsequent momentum will hinge on upcoming macroeconomic data and geopolitical developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
