AI desk brief

Gold (XAU/USD) rebounded to around $4,153 after a $64+ bounce from the $4,064–4,074 base, with the move supported by the 10-year Treasury yield falling 10 bp to 5.09% and a weaker dollar as investors rotated into Treasuries on AI debt concerns. Near term, the key level is $4,141–4,150: a sustained hold above that band keeps the upside open toward $4,185–4,195, then $4,215–4,227 and $4,276–4,289, while a failure there risks a slide back toward $4,104–4,113.

The macro backdrop is mixed but still supportive for bullion: September PPI jumped 1.3% m/m and 6.3% y/y, yet markets are still pricing a Fed pause this month, and gold is also drawing support from elevated geopolitics/energy risk with Brent at $105.92 and WTI at $96.50. Silver outperformed, rising 3.24% to $57.31, reinforcing the safe-haven bid.
