Gold bias flipped 26 times to weak bullish on October 12, 2026
Gold has faced short-term pressure and tumbled as an oil shock fueled a US dollar rally and expectations around Fed rates, with $4,000 cited as a relevant support level. It has also rebounded to a one-week high on easing geopolitical tensions, with focus on upcoming US CPI data, the Fed outlook, and record gold imports by China.
