Gold: Shallow rallies in two-way trading – OCBC
OCBC’s Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong argue Gold may struggle to attract a clear haven bid despite renewed US–Iran tensions, as markets focus more on Oil shock risks, Dollar rebound and broader de-risking. Geopolitical risk could cushion downside, but unless Oil opens contained or real yields ease, rallies are expected to stay shallow, with resistance seen at 4100, 4160 and 4260 and support at 3960 and 3820.
Limited haven bid despite tensions
"Gold. 2-way trades likely. Gold may struggle to draw a clean haven bid from renewed US-Iran escalation."
"Weekend gold futures softened, suggesting that markets may be more focused on potential worries of oil shock, USD rebound and broader de-risking than on adding geopolitical hedges."
"Geopolitical risk may cushion downside at the margin, but unless oil opens contained or real yields ease, rallies may remain shallow."
"Gold last closed at 4088 levels. Mild bearish momentum on daily chart shows signs of fading while RSI showed tentative signs of rebound from near oversold conditions."
"Resistance at 4100, 4160 (61.8% fibo) and 4260 (21 DMA). Support at 3960, 3820 levels (76.4% fibo retracement of Aug low to 2026 high)."

How does Wall Street view the PCE? Goldman Sachs delays expectation for Fed rate hike
After the lower-than-expected US August PCE data was released, Goldman Sachs delayed its expectation for the Federal Reserve's second rate hike from October to December, and stated that it does not rule out the possibility that the Fed may eventually decide no further hikes are necessary. "New Fed Newsletter" Timiraos noted that the PCE does not change the previously known trend of rising inflation. Currently, the market prices in a 39% probability of a rate hike in October, down from 45% before the PCE release; and a 90% probability in December. The yield on 2-year US Treasury notes dipped slightly after the PCE announcement and then rebounded, while the 10-year yield continued to rise.
