Gold and silver decline as inflation concerns weigh on precious metals.

Here is your weekly update for 19-10-26.

Gold fell 0.7% to $4,165.50/oz, while silver dropped 6.3% to $57.03/oz as stronger-than-expected US inflation and uncertainty over Federal Reserve policy pressured prices. Rising oil prices and escalating Middle East tensions added to concerns over persistent inflation.

Gold ETF inflows remained strong, with September attracting $10 billion and Q3 inflows reaching a record $31 billion. Global gold ETF holdings climbed to an all-time high of 4,256 tonnes, while central banks purchased approximately 63 tonnes of gold in September.

Looking ahead, China’s GDP and economic activity data, UK inflation and global business surveys will be key indicators to watch. Inflation trends, Federal Reserve rate expectations and developments in the Middle East could shape the next move in precious metals.

Gold and silver regain ground as markets look ahead to US inflation data.

Here is your weekly update for 12-10-26.

Gold rose 1.4% to $4,191/oz, while silver gained 1.2% to $60.67/oz, supported by easing oil prices and a retreat in Treasury yields. However, a stronger dollar and elevated real yields continued to weigh on bullion.

Gold ETF inflows remained strong, with September attracting $10 billion, while China extended its gold-buying streak to 23 consecutive months.

Looking ahead, US CPI, PPI, retail sales and industrial production will be key indicators to watch. Inflation data, Fed rate expectations and developments around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz could shape the next move in precious metals.

A gold bar’s gross weight tells you how much it weighs. Its fine weight tells you how much pure gold it contains.

Understanding the difference helps put bullion pricing into perspective.

Not every gold bar is valued only for its weight.

The refinery, the era, the markings, the serial number and even the original documentation can tell a story that goes beyond its melt value.

In the world of bullion, history can have a price too.

Gold and silver enter the week with markets reassessing the Fed’s next move.

Here is your weekly update for 05-10-26.

Precious metals are navigating a shifting macro backdrop as investors weigh softer labour-market signals against movements in U.S. Treasury yields and broader expectations around monetary policy.

The recent pullback also comes as investor positioning adjusts, while continued strength in gold ETF holdings points to sustained interest in the asset despite short-term volatility.

With Fed minutes, labour-market data and bond-market moves ahead, the coming sessions could offer further clues on the direction of precious metals.

For gold and silver, the focus remains on how economic data and changing rate expectations translate into market sentiment.
