  Gold Finds Support

  Gold stabilizes as the break below $4,000 is treated as a positioning reset rather than a change in the longer-term bull case. Bargain buying from ETFs, jewelry-linked demand, and continued central-bank reserve diversification limit follow-through selling.

  Fed Pressure Extends

  The selloff extends if investors focus on the September Fed projections showing more 2026 rate hikes and the dollar keeps firming. Higher real yields reduce the appeal of non-yielding bullion and pressure miners.

  Safe-Haven Rebound

  Gold reverses higher if the market re-emphasizes structural demand from central banks, debt-sustainability worries, and geopolitical hedging. The People’s Bank of China’s 23-month buying streak remains a powerful narrative supporting dips.
