On the morning of Wednesday, September 23, 2026, during the Asian trading session, spot gold traded near $4,363/oz, displaying signs of high-level consolidation. On Tuesday, international crude oil prices fell sharply, with both major benchmarks dropping below the $100/bbl mark. This was primarily driven by the resumption of operations on Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline and increased vessel traffic through key straits. Concurrently, Iran signaled a diplomatic opening, stating it could reopen the strait within seven days and resume talks if the US relieves relevant pressures and lifts blockades. The significant reduction in regional risk premiums, combined with falling oil prices, suppressed inflation expectations. Consequently, markets began pricing in a more restrictive policy stance from the Federal Reserve this year, putting downward pressure on gold. However, persistent dip-buying continues to cap further downside losses.

Looking ahead, the tug-of-war between tangible regional de-escalation and Fed hawkish expectations will remain the key driver for gold. Should diplomatic dialogues yield concrete breakthroughs and supply-side dynamics improve, safe-haven flows may unwound further. Conversely, under the shadow of restrictive macro interest rates, gold is likely to maintain a high-level volatile consolidation pattern in the short term. Market participants will closely monitor upcoming Fed official comments and further geopolitical developments.
