Why gold is moving
Gold drops 3% to a seven-week low
International gold fell to $4,156 per ounce, about $501 per Chi for 99.99% gold — down 3.1%, or roughly $132 per ounce, in a single day and its lowest level since early August. Gold is now 7.5% below where it traded a month ago and has slipped under its level at the start of 2026, wiping out this year's gains. The main driver was oil, which rose more than 2% after US–Iran talks over reopening the Strait of Hormuz stalled, with President Trump rejecting Iran's latest proposal. Higher oil revived inflation fears, and markets now see about a 70% chance the Fed raises rates by 0.25% in October — lifting the dollar and US government bond yields and making non-yielding gold less attractive. This week, markets will watch US inflation and jobs data for the next clue on the Fed's rate path.
Gold slides a third day to a one-month low
International gold fell to $4,360 per ounce, about $526 per Chi for 99.99% gold, down 0.6% on the day and the 3rd straight day of losses. Measured from the peak of $565 per Chi on August 23, gold has now dropped as much as 6.9%, its lowest level since early August. The main reason is that markets swung back to expecting the Fed to raise rates again, after Fed chair Kevin Warsh said inflation control still has work to do — pushing US government bond yields to their highest since January 2025 and the dollar to a one-year high. Notably, this round of Middle East tension did not help gold, since it pushed oil prices up, revived inflation fears, and cooled hopes of a Fed rate cut — combined with a break below the 200-day moving average, which triggered extra technical selling.
Gold hits a one-month high
International gold rose +1.4% to $4,186 per ounce, or $505 per Chi (99.99% gold), its highest level since July 5, and up +3.8% from the low on August 3. The main driver is renewed hope for a deal reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which pushed oil prices down; cooler-than-expected PCE inflation also opened the door for the Fed to cut rates, adding further lift to gold. Markets are now waiting on US ADP and NFP jobs data due later this week. Note that Cambodian local shop prices run about 2% below the international price on average, so don't compare the international price directly — always check each shop's own buy and sell price before deciding.
Gold jumps after the Fed holds
International gold rose to $4,115 per ounce, equal to $497 per Chi for 99.99% gold, an increase of about +2.4% over the last two days. The main reason is that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) decided to hold its rate steady at 3.50–3.75%, while markets had been expecting a possible hike. A 9–3 split vote shows some officials remain worried about inflation, while Middle East tension is adding to safe-haven demand for gold. Meanwhile, a stronger dollar is acting as a brake on the rally.
Gold rebounds on weak US jobs
International gold rebounded strongly after falling to its lowest level in 8 months, about $3,952 per ounce, back up to about $4,166 per ounce (equal to $503 per Chi for 99.99% gold) — a bounce of about 5% and the first up week after 4 straight weeks of losses. The main reason is weak US jobs data: new nonfarm payrolls (NFP) rose by only 57,000 versus an expected 110,000, which lowered the odds of a Fed rate hike (September hike odds fell to 50% from 66%), together with the dollar's sharpest weekly drop since April.
