Price action and reported drivers
Livemint reported that gold and silver traded in a range on MCX amid a rise in the U.S. dollar and bond yields ahead of the U.S. Fed policy outcome. finance.biggo.com reported New York gold futures fell for a third straight session as rate-hike bets drove yields higher and strengthened the dollar. KITCO said gold fell to an over one-month low as an oil rally and inflation data boosted rate-hike bets, while SuaraGarut.ID also linked gold’s drop to surging Treasury yields and an oil rally. FXEmpire, by contrast, reported gold rebounded from session lows as Treasury yields pulled back.

Fed decision dominates the morning
AP News reported that the Federal Reserve is expected to raise its benchmark rate, defying Trump’s demands. streamlinefeed.co.ke also said the Federal Reserve is expected to raise rates Wednesday despite Trump pressure, while eu.36kr.com described a Wall Street consensus for a rate increase this week. KuCoin put the rate-hike chance at 92% and said the FOMC faces a sharp internal divide. CNBC said Warsh faces a tough battle as the Fed girds for an expected rate hike, and Yahoo Finance reported that UBS expects a signal for another hike later in 2026.

China buying remains a separate thread
Crypto Briefing reported that China is buying twice more gold than officially reported amid a surge in central bank purchases. Sada Elbalad English reported that China is accelerating gold purchases amid strong ETF inflows and weak jewellery demand. Those headlines describe a demand-side theme rather than the intraday move shown by XAUTicker. Neither headline says China buying drove this morning’s decline, so it should be read separately from the rate, yield, dollar and oil headlines dominating the session setup.
