DhbnaDOCUMENTING THE GOLD PATHDated market-session and period reviews covering several drivers without forcing a single principal cause. Publication time is not automatically the market observation time.
Gold slipped a marginal 0.06% to $4,519.71 per ounce on Thursday, essentially holding steady after Wednesday’s sharp rally pushed prices above $4,500 for the first time since early June. The metal is still up more than 10% for the month…
Gold slipped 0.44% to $4,370.24 per ounce on Tuesday, pulling back slightly after opening above $4,400 for a second straight session — a level last seen in early June. The dip looks like a pause rather than a reversal, coming…

Today’s gold tape is not a standalone precious-metals story; it is a synchronized repricing across oil, rates and the dollar after the U.S. and Iran agreed terms to end the war and keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Reuters linked…
