On September 10, 2026, during the early Asian session on Thursday, spot gold was trading around $4,400.52 per ounce. Despite continued pressure on the US Dollar Index, gold remained around a two week low overall. Market attention is fully focused on the US PPI and CPI inflation data due to be released over the next two days, with a strong wait and see sentiment prevailing. Market participants are attempting to assess the Federal Reserve’s subsequent policy direction through the data. If inflation falls more than expected, it could inject fresh momentum into gold prices. Conversely, if inflation remains resilient, elevated interest rates may continue to weigh on gold’s upside potential.

Meanwhile, the crude oil market saw a breakthrough rally on Wednesday, with Brent crude breaking above the $100 mark as previous expectations of limited impact from geopolitical developments shifted. Oil prices moving above $100 have not only increased market attention toward secondary inflationary pressures, but have also created additional challenges for the Federal Reserve’s policy considerations. The interaction between the energy premium and broader inflation dynamics is guiding global commodity markets into a new stage of price discovery.
