Gold Dajaluh presents the daily gold bulletin for Monday August 17, 2026. Gold has opened the week above $4,400 per ounce after touching $4,419.51 over the weekend, extending its gains. Here are today’s news, prices, and the week’s calendar — clear and complete.
Today’s prices:
24K: ~$141.60/gram | 22K: ~$129.80/gram | 21K: ~$123.90/gram | 18K: ~$106.20/gram
Change from last Monday: up about $75 per ounce. Over one month: up 9.7%.
The main news: Last week’s American data all favoured gold — inflation cooled to 3.4%, retail sales weakened, and consumer confidence softened. The chance of a September rate rise has now fallen to between roughly 15% and one-third, depending on the measure, from 40–50% before the data. The next rise is fully expected only in December. Gold holds above its 100-day average, a positive technical sign.
The regional news: The June interim agreement between America and Iran formally ends today, with no replacement agreed. The Strait of Hormuz remains the key sticking point and stays largely closed. The deadlock keeps oil elevated and gold’s protective demand strong.
The numbers that matter:
Gold versus January’s record ($5,597): about 21% below — a 50-gram necklace carries roughly $1,920 less gold value than at the peak.
Gold versus one year ago: up about 32%.
Silver: holding near $65, close to seven-week highs.
September rate-rise odds: ~15–33%. Next fully priced rise: December.
The week’s calendar: Wednesday — American central bank meeting minutes. Later this week — the Fed chair’s major speech at the Jackson Hole gathering, the week’s most important event. A calm speech could lift gold toward $4,450–$4,470; a strict one could dip it toward $4,360.
For buyers today: The direction remains upward and the causes are solid. Those with near occasions are advised not to delay; those who can wait may hold part of their budget for any dip around the week’s Fed events.
