Gold volatility increases amid US inflation concerns

Overview

Gold prices have entered a period of volatility as market participants weigh central bank demand against concerns regarding United States inflation data. While gold maintains a bullish structure supported by demand from China and geopolitical uncertainty, recent economic data from the US has exerted downward pressure on prices.

Recent US economic indicators have intensified these pressures. The Producer Price Index (PPI) rose to 5.4% annually, exceeding the market expectation of 5.3% and the previous July figure of 4.7%. Additionally, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed a monthly increase of 0.4% in August, up from 0.1% in July, while annual inflation remained steady at 3.4%. These signals, combined with rising crude oil prices—with WTI crude surpassing $100 per barrel—have heightened market expectations that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates. Traders currently estimate a 70% probability of a rate hike.

This inflationary data has impacted various asset classes, with Bitcoin and gold facing initial selling pressure. In the bond market, US Treasury yields rose, with the 30-year yield reaching 5.34%, one of its highest levels since 2007. Furthermore, Brent crude oil prices climbed above $105 per barrel, driven by inflation expectations and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East involving Houthi forces in Yemen.

Between September 10 and 11, 2026, global markets experienced sharp fluctuations. After reaching levels near $4,400 per ounce on September 10, prices dropped significantly to approximately $4,316–$4,320 per ounce by September 11. In Vietnam, domestic gold markets showed varied responses; while some brands remained stable, SJC gold bars experienced a sharp decrease, bringing buying prices down to approximately 142 million VND per tael.
