Gold settled at $4,181.83 on October 2, 2026, adding 0.16% over the prior 24 hours in a quiet session that offered little directional conviction for the precious metal.
Despite the slight daily uptick, the broader trend remains soft. Gold has declined 3.01% over the past seven days and is down 2.94% over the trailing 30-day period, reflecting sustained selling pressure across the commodity.
The near-identical losses over the weekly and monthly windows suggest the metal has been under consistent downward pressure rather than experiencing a sudden drop, with little sign of a meaningful recovery taking hold in recent weeks.
Market capitalization data for gold was not available as of this report. Trading in the commodity continues against a backdrop of broader macro and currency dynamics that have weighed on prices over the past month.
