Gold initially advanced towards <strong>$4,210<\/strong>, but the rally proved difficult to sustain as bond yields subsequently recovered from their lows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gold opened around <strong>$4,141.67<\/strong>, briefly fell towards <strong>$4,124.64<\/strong>, and then recovered to <strong>$4,149.76<\/strong>. Price accelerated higher and moved through $4,140 before testing the $4,150-$4,155 region. However, momentum has started to flatten near the top of the move. XAUUSD is trading close to its 9-period moving average after briefly moving above it, suggesting that buyers have regained some short-term ground without establishing a decisive breakout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Traders Are Watching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gold reacted quickly to Friday&#8217;s weaker US employment report as traders scaled back expectations for further near-term Federal Reserve tightening. September nonfarm payrolls rose by only 29,000, compared with expectations for 90,000, while the unemployment rate increased to 4.2%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gold Rises as Softer-Than-Expected Inflation Data Tempers Rate-Hike Bets <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CLcXGmwcKF\">https:\/\/t.co\/CLcXGmwcKF<\/a><\/p>&mdash; WSJ Markets (@WSJmarkets) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WSJmarkets\/status\/2106925391101219173?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 5, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The September payroll report has shifted market expectations. Rather than strengthening the case for another rate hike, the labour data increased the probability that the Fed pauses in October. Market pricing on Monday placed the probability of an October rate hike at only <strong>18%<\/strong>, although expectations for another increase later in the year remained much stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lower rate expectations can reduce Treasury yields and the opportunity cost of holding precious metals. A softer dollar can provide another source of support. However, Friday&#8217;s reversal also showed that the relationship is not one-directional. Treasury yields recovered after their initial NFP decline, while persistent inflation concerns continue to limit how far markets can price out future tightening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Trading Levels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<!-- TradingView Widget BEGIN -->\n<div class=\"tradingview-widget-container\">\n  <div class=\"tradingview-widget-container__widget\"><\/div>\n  <div class=\"tradingview-widget-copyright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/GOLD\/?exchange=TVC\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"blue-text\">GOLD chart<\/span><\/a><span class=\"trademark\">&nbsp;by TradingView<\/span><\/div>\n  <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.tradingview.com\/external-embedding\/embed-widget-advanced-chart.js\" async>\n  {\n  \"allow_symbol_change\": true,\n  \"calendar\": false,\n  \"details\": false,\n  \"hide_side_toolbar\": true,\n  \"hide_top_toolbar\": false,\n  \"hide_legend\": false,\n  \"hide_volume\": false,\n  \"hotlist\": false,\n  \"interval\": \"D\",\n  \"locale\": \"en\",\n  \"save_image\": true,\n  \"style\": \"1\",\n  \"symbol\": \"TVC:GOLD\",\n  \"theme\": \"dark\",\n  \"timezone\": \"Etc\/UTC\",\n  \"backgroundColor\": \"#0F0F0F\",\n  \"gridColor\": \"rgba(242, 242, 242, 0.2)\",\n  \"watchlist\": [],\n  \"withdateranges\": false,\n  \"compareSymbols\": [],\n  \"support_host\": \"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\",\n  \"studies\": [],\n  \"width\": 900,\n  \"height\": 500\n}\n  <\/script>\n<\/div>\n<!-- TradingView Widget END -->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Level<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Area<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Why It Matters<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Major resistance<\/td><td>$4,210<\/td><td>Post-NFP rally area and recent upside test<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Psychological resistance<\/td><td>$4,200<\/td><td>Major round-number level<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Near-term resistance<\/td><td>$4,160-$4,165<\/td><td>Current intraday high area<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pivot<\/td><td>$4,150<\/td><td>Current price area and short-term directional level<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Support<\/td><td>$4,140<\/td><td>Intraday consolidation and breakout area<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Key support<\/td><td>$4,125-$4,130<\/td><td>Today&#8217;s intraday low region<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Deeper support<\/td><td>$4,100<\/td><td>Major psychological downside level<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The immediate battle is around <strong>$4,150<\/strong>.

However, Friday&#8217;s reversal shows that gold remains vulnerable if Treasury yields rebound or the dollar strengthens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attention therefore shifts towards upcoming US inflation data and Fed speakers. Softer inflation alongside weaker employment growth would strengthen the argument for an October pause. Sticky inflation, particularly if accompanied by hawkish Fed commentary, could keep yields elevated and make another sustained move above <strong>$4,200 <\/strong>more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trade Gold with VT Markets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">XAUUSD CFDs give traders exposure to gold price movements without owning physical gold. Gold is commonly monitored alongside factors such as the US dollar, interest rates, inflation expectations and geopolitical developments. Traders can also monitor the US Dollar Index (USDX).

The weaker labour data reduced expectations for another Fed rate hike in October, initially pushing Treasury yields and the dollar lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How weak was the September NFP report?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US nonfarm payrolls increased by <strong>29,000<\/strong>, compared with expectations for approximately <strong>90,000<\/strong>. The unemployment rate also increased to <strong>4.2%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why did gold retreat after reaching $4,210?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initial post-NFP reaction faded as Treasury yields recovered and traders continued to price the possibility of further Fed tightening later in the year. Gold subsequently gave back its initial gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What could move gold next?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US inflation data, Treasury yields, the US dollar and comments from Federal Reserve officials are likely to drive the next repricing of October rate expectations. Current market pricing strongly favours a pause, but expectations for further tightening later in the year remain alive.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\r\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Start trading now \u2014 click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/trade-now\/\">here<\/a> to create your real VT Markets account.<\/b>\n\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold briefly tested the $4,210 area after weaker-than-expected US payroll growth reduced expectations for another Federal Reserve rate hike in October.
