Oil price gains bolster Fed hike expectations as gold and silver slide

Precious metals extended their losses on Monday, with spot gold down nearly 3% intraday and spot silver falling 5%, according to Odaily, citing Jin10. The move came as higher oil prices intensified inflation concerns and strengthened market expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise rates again. Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade, said the combination of elevated bond yields and higher oil prices has continued to weigh on gold. He added that uncertainty around the oil supply outlook has pushed crude prices up and brought inflation back into focus for investors. Markets are now watching a run of U.S. labor and inflation releases due this week, including job openings data, the ADP employment report, the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, and the nonfarm payrolls report. Waterer said stronger-than-expected inflation or employment figures could keep bond yields rising and add more pressure on gold.

Gold and silver slide Monday as higher oil prices bolster Fed rate-hike expectations

Precious metals fell sharply on Monday, with spot gold down nearly 3% intraday and spot silver tumbling 5%, according to ChainCatcher. The move came as rising oil prices added to inflation concerns and strengthened market expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates further. Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade, said the combination of elevated bond yields and higher oil prices was putting pressure on gold. Investors are now watching a fresh batch of U.S. labor and inflation indicators for direction. The reports in focus include job openings data, the ADP employment report, the Personal Consumption Expenditures, or PCE, inflation report, and the nonfarm payrolls report. The developments reflect a broader macro setup in which energy prices, bond yields, and monetary policy expectations are moving together and weighing on precious metals.

Stalled U.S.-Iran peace talks lift oil prices and Treasury yields

Spot gold and silver fall, with gold at $4,215 an ounce

Spot gold and silver both moved lower on Sept. 28, according to market data cited by BlockBeats from Bitget. The report said the move came after Trump rejected an Iranian proposal, which pushed oil prices higher and triggered a renewed sell-off in U.S. Treasuries. That pressure then spread into the spot precious metals market. Spot gold was quoted at $4,215 per ounce, down 1.65% over the past 24 hours. Spot silver was quoted at $62.44 per ounce, down nearly 3% over the same period. The update was published as a short market brief and focused on the latest quoted prices and 24-hour declines for both metals.

Barclays warns U.S. stocks are nearing a tipping point as higher yields erode equity appeal

Barclays said rising bond yields are making equities less attractive on a relative basis, with the extra return stocks offer over bonds now near multi-decade lows. The bank warned that the U.S. stock market is approaching a "tipping point" even as corporate earnings remain resilient and AI-led growth continues to offer support. Barclays also pointed to crude oil moving above $100 a barrel and a renewed tightening stance from major central banks as factors adding to market risk. While the bank is keeping its overweight rating on equities for now, it expects volatility to persist ahead of the third-quarter earnings season. Investors, it said, will be focused on how much higher bond yields the stock market can absorb.

Oil prices fall, with WTI slipping below $89 a barrel

International oil prices moved lower on Sept. 22, according to market data cited by BlockBeats from Bitget. West Texas Intermediate, or WTI, fell back below $89 per barrel, down 2.88% on the day. Brent crude also dropped more than 2% and was quoted at $94.45 per barrel. The move came alongside two developments highlighted in the report. One said Saudi Arabia was preparing to resume crude exports from Yanbu later on Tuesday. Another involved comments from an Iranian official, who said the Iranian delegation had been given full authority to push for the restoration of diplomatic contact with the United States in New York. The report did not provide more detail beyond those market levels and statements, but it tied the day’s oil-price weakness to the latest supply and diplomatic headlines being watched by the market.

Taiwan stocks jump more than 880 points to intraday record 48,601 as Wall Street rally and lower oil prices lift sentiment

Taiwan stocks surged in early trading on Sept. 22, with the benchmark index rising more than 880 points and touching 48,601.53, setting a fresh intraday record. The move followed a broad rally in U.S. equities, where the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Philadelphia Semiconductor Index all closed higher on Sept. 21. Market sentiment was also helped by comments from Donald Trump, who said he would not rule out meeting Iran’s president during the United Nations General Assembly, a development that fed expectations of easing tensions in the Middle East and pushed oil prices lower. In Taiwan, heavyweight names including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), MediaTek, Delta Electronics, Hon Hai Precision Industry, and ASE Technology Holding all advanced, while electronics components, optoelectronics, semiconductors, and cable-related shares also moved higher. TSMC ADR, ASE ADR, and UMC ADR all gained in U.S. trading, and Taiwan index futures in the night session rose 728 points to 48,781.

Retail bearishness on U.S. stocks rises to 53% as strategists say contrarian signals are nearing rebound territory

Retail investor sentiment toward U.S. equities has turned sharply more negative, according to CNBC, as higher oil prices and elevated Treasury yields weigh on outlooks. The latest weekly survey from the American Association of Individual Investors, or AAII, showed about 53% of respondents expect stocks to fall over the next six months, up roughly 14 percentage points from the prior week and the highest reading since May 2025. Bullish sentiment dropped to below 29%, down about 10 percentage points on the week and the lowest level in about a year. CNBC said the backdrop includes another rise in crude prices during the Iran war and a 10-year U.S. Treasury yield that has stayed near 5% in recent weeks. Morgan’s commodities team said it would stop trying to predict when and how the conflict will end. Truist Wealth chief investment officer Keith Lerner said AAII pessimism is approaching levels that have often lined up with market lows from a contrarian perspective. He added that only about 30% of index components are above their 50-day moving average, and a move below that threshold could point to oversold conditions. Peter Boockvar of One Point BFG Wealth Partners also cautioned against overreading sentiment gauges, though he said the AAII signal alone suggests conditions are in place for a rebound.
