Gold traded at $4,128.31 on October 21, 2026, rising 0.19% over the prior 24 hours. The slight uptick offered a measure of stability after recent softness in the precious metal.

Looking at a broader window, gold is down 0.33% over the past seven days, suggesting the daily gain has yet to reverse a short-term downward drift. The one-month picture is more pronounced, with the metal off 5.08% over that span.

The 30-day decline of 5.08% represents a meaningful pullback from levels seen roughly a month ago, underscoring sustained selling pressure over that period. The daily and weekly moves, by contrast, are comparatively small in magnitude.

Market capitalization data for gold is not available. The commodity's price action over multiple timeframes points to a market that has faced headwinds over the past month while showing tentative signs of stabilization in the near term.
