On the last trading day of October, global gold prices retreated below $1,900 per ounce due to heightened concerns about the persistence of inflation growth in the U.S. and an increased likelihood of the Federal Reserve maintaining high interest rates in the coming months; a level not seen since October 2025. The release of inflation data exceeding expectations and robust economic growth in the U.S. strengthened traders' contractionary expectations and reduced the attractiveness of investing in the yellow metal. Consequently, gold experienced its second consecutive month of price decline. In the domestic market, although the dollar had limited fluctuations in the first week of November, the price of 18-carat gold decreased by 3.7%.
