Gold traded at $4,158.35 on October 6, 2026, slipping 0.04% over the prior 24 hours. The modest daily move kept the precious metal near recent levels but did little to offset a steep 30-day retreat.

Over the past week, gold managed a slight recovery, posting a gain of 0.12%. That weekly uptick stands in contrast to the metal's longer-term trajectory, which shows a decline of 6.09% over the past 30 days.

The 30-day drop represents a notable pullback for the commodity, which has faced sustained selling pressure over the period. Market capitalization data for gold was not available.

On a daily basis, the price action remained subdued, with the marginal 0.04% loss suggesting limited directional conviction among market participants in Tuesday's session.
