SEPTEMBER 2026 GOLD SPOT PRICE
(US DOLLARS PER OUNCE)
September was a month of sharp correction for gold. After hitting an intramonth peak of US $4,507 per ounce early in the month, the precious metal sharply reversed course. The catalyst was the Federal Reserve hinting at a high probability of an interest rate hike at its September meeting, which catapulted the dollar and sent 10-year Treasury yields soaring near 4.77%.
This pressure drove gold down 6.7% over the month, hitting a floor of US $4,115 per ounce before stabilizing to close September at US $4,157 per ounce. With this move, the metal extends a year marked by volatility, leaving it down 7.7% year-to-date from its opening
