Gold Dajaluh presents the daily gold bulletin for Monday September 7, 2026. Gold has slipped toward $4,400 per ounce, extending Friday’s decline in quiet trade as America marked a public holiday. Here are the news, the numbers, and the week ahead — clear and complete.
Today’s prices:
24K: ~$141.45/gram | 22K: ~$129.65/gram | 21K: ~$123.75/gram | 18K: ~$106.10/gram
Day’s range: roughly $4,385–$4,436 per ounce. Down about 0.6–0.8% on the day.
The main news: Expectations of an American interest rate rise have firmed to about 60%, up from 50% before Friday’s jobs report showed 162,000 jobs added in August (with July’s figure revised up to +23,000). Higher rate expectations weigh on gold, which pays no interest. One small comfort for gold: annual wage growth slowed to 3.1% — though less than economists had expected.
The regional news: Over the weekend, the United States and Iran exchanged strikes on shipping — an escalation directly affecting the sea lanes. Crude oil climbed to a near three-month high. Our thoughts remain with all those affected. Note the market’s strange arithmetic once more: higher oil raises inflation worries, which raise rate-rise expectations — so this escalation pressed gold down rather than up.
An important quiet fact: China’s central bank bought gold again in August — its 22nd consecutive month of buying — lifting holdings to 76.73 million fine ounces. The world’s biggest official buyer has not paused once during this entire cycle.
The numbers that matter:
Gold versus January’s record ($5,597): about 22% below — roughly $1,925 less per 50-gram necklace.
Gold versus one year ago: up about 21%.
Over the past month: up about 0.3%.
September rate-rise odds: ~60%. The Fed meets September 15–16.
The week ahead: America’s inflation report (CPI) arrives this week and is the final word before the Fed’s decision. Cool inflation → the rise may be avoided and gold could rally toward $4,500. Hot inflation → the rise is likely and gold could retest $4,320 or lower.
For buyers today: Gram prices remain near their best levels since early August — a good window for weddings and occasions. Investors may prefer to await the inflation report.
