Gold Dajaluh presents the daily gold bulletin for Wednesday September 9, 2026. Overnight brought grave news for our region, and a puzzling day for gold: oil crossed $100 a barrel, yet gold opened lower before recovering toward $4,435. Here are the news, the numbers, and the two days ahead that will decide the market’s direction — clear and complete.
Today’s prices:
24K: ~$141.45/gram | 22K: ~$129.65/gram | 21K: ~$123.75/gram | 18K: ~$106.10/gram
Gold futures opened at $4,399 (down 0.9% from Tuesday) before recovering to $4,435.60 in early trading.
The main news: American forces destroyed five Iranian oil tankers on Tuesday — four in the Gulf of Oman and one near Kharg Island — following an attempted Iranian missile attack on a US warship. Three more tankers were struck on Saturday. Iran responded by attacking ten ships near the Strait of Hormuz and firing 20 ballistic missiles at the Al Azraq base in Jordan; Jordan’s forces intercepted 18, two fell in unpopulated areas, and no casualties were reported. Iran has also warned of attacks on tankers near Bahrain and Kuwait, and plans to declare a zone outside Hormuz where ships need Iranian permission to pass. Our thoughts are with all those in harm’s way; may this violence end soon.
The oil news: Brent crude crossed $100 a barrel for the first time since July, reaching $100.44. It is up 9% in five days and 19% in a month. Traffic through Hormuz has nearly stopped — four ships on Saturday, six on Sunday, compared with more than a fifth of the world’s oil before the war.
Why gold didn’t rise: Because expensive oil means higher inflation, and higher inflation makes an American rate rise next week more likely — markets put the chance near 60%. Higher rates weigh on gold. This has been the year’s pattern, uncomfortable as it is.
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%.
September rate-rise odds: ~60%. The Fed meets September 15–16.
The two days ahead: American producer prices arrive Thursday and consumer prices Friday. These decide the Fed’s meeting — and gold’s direction. Cool inflation would remove the rate pressure and could let the war premium finally lift gold; hot inflation would confirm the rise and press it lower.
For buyers today: Gram prices remain near their best levels since early August — a good window for occasions. Investors may prefer to wait for Friday.
