Linh Tran, market analyst at xs, said gold quickly regained its upward momentum after the inflation report, rebounding from the trough around $3,615 per ounce to near $3,650, reversing the pullback that stemmed from profit-taking and a brief rebound in the dollar and yields.

The key to gold in the short term is the September 18 Fed meeting on the rate decision, which will depend on how it assesses the recent data set.

“The market still leans toward a 25 bps cut, or at least a conditional easing message. If the Fed confirms this bias and the forward guidance suggests room for further rate cuts, real yields have scope to decline further, reinforcing gold's high base. Conversely, if the Fed emphasises inflation risks and signals caution about the pace of easing, this could push gold into a choppy phase before the larger trend is validated.”

Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote Bank, said gold continues to benefit from dovish Fed bets and ongoing geopolitical unease, pushing it toward record highs.
