XAUTicker showed spot gold ending the 1 October session at $4,165.80 per troy ounce, down $15.69, or 0.38%, after trading between $4,150.33 and $4,192.00. The US-hours tone resolved softer rather than higher: USAGOLD said rising yields capped gold near $4,167, while GoldSilver said gold steadied near $4,180 after a GDP upgrade undercut an inflation miss. Kitco framed the cross-current as cooler US inflation data countering higher Treasury yields. Silver also softened, with XAUTicker showing spot silver at $60.63, down 0.84%.

Late price action
By the XAUTicker feed, gold finished $15.69 below the previous close of $4,181.49, after the day’s $4,150.33-to-$4,192.00 range left the final feed price closer to the low than the high. That matched a set of late headlines clustered around the same area: USAGOLD said rising yields capped gold near $4,167, GoldSilver said gold steadied near $4,180, and Kitco cited gold at $4,158/oz after an ISM Manufacturing PMI dip to 54.5.
Inflation relief met yields
Kitco said gold gained as cooler US inflation data countered higher Treasury yields, and Emirates 24|7 used a similar frame, saying softer US inflation offset pressure from rising Treasury yields. NewsNation reported that August inflation rose less than expected in the PCE report. FXEmpire said softer PCE cut Fed hike bets, while BusinessLine said gold inched higher as softer US inflation dimmed October Fed hike bets. On the other side, GoldSilver said a GDP upgrade undercut the inflation miss, and FXStreet cited UOB saying gold’s upside was capped by real yields.
