What’s moving gold today

Gold is trading around $4,375.51 per ounce and is up today. In the news over the past 48 hours, the conversation around gold is led by Inflation / CPI, Bond yields, Fed & interest rates.

Inflation / CPI

No data is released on a public holiday, which makes those sessions among the quietest of the year.

Bond yields

Bond markets close on the same days, which removes the metal's usual reference point entirely.

Fed & interest rates

American market holidays remove the deepest part of the trading day, and a decision never lands on one.

Safe-haven demand

News breaking on a holiday moves the price further than it otherwise would, for lack of anyone to trade against.

US dollar

Currency markets thin at the same time, so both halves of the quote lose participants together.
