Gold climbs to two-week high as dollar, yields weaken

Gold climbed 1% to $4,102.50 per ounce, reaching its highest settlement since October 21 as a weaker US dollar and falling Treasury yields boosted demand. The 10-year Treasury yield dropped 5.5 basis points to 4.836%, while silver gained 0.2% to $52.233 per ounce. Gold could face renewed selling pressure if Friday's US jobs report strengthens expectations for a December Fed rate hike, despite improving near-term momentum.

Goldman Sachs trims gold forecasts as Fed stays hawkish

Goldman Sachs cut its end-2026 gold price forecast to $4,150 per ounce from $4,650 and its end-2027 target to $4,800 from $5,400, citing the Federal Reserve's increasingly hawkish policy stance. The bank warned that higher oil prices and equity-market drawdowns could trigger additional gold selling, while central-bank demand and long-term investor interest remain supportive. Lower price targets could pressure gold sentiment, although persistent structural demand may limit downside and support longer-term prices.

Goldman Sachs lowers gold price forecasts on hawkish Fed outlook

Goldman Sachs cut its end-2026 gold price forecast to $4,150 per ounce from $4,650, citing the Federal Reserve's increasingly hawkish policy outlook. The bank also reduced its end-2027 forecast to $4,800 from $5,400, warning that higher interest rates could weigh on investor demand despite continued central-bank buying. Persistent monetary tightening and potential oil-driven selling could pressure gold, although structural central-bank demand and fiscal-risk hedging may limit downside.

Treasury Yields Hover Around Two-Month Lows Ahead of Payrolls — Market Talk

U.S. Treasury yields are hovering near two-month lows as bond markets increasingly price in the possibility of a December Federal Reserve rate hold ahead of October payrolls. The 10-year yield fell to 4.836% and the two-year to 4.475%, while December rate-hold odds climbed to 35% from 17% in one day. Tomorrow's jobs report could trigger a sharp repricing of rate expectations, potentially driving renewed volatility across Treasury yields, the dollar and gold.
