CFTC wins court order for more than $31 million in fraud penalties and restitution

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said it obtained a court order requiring a Louisiana man and an Arkansas woman to pay more than $31 million in a case tied to digital asset and precious metals fraud. The court ordered the defendants to pay about $15.8 million in restitution, along with an equal amount in civil monetary penalties. According to the CFTC, the two misled investors in digital asset and precious metals trading through false statements and misappropriation of funds. The order also permanently bars them from commodity trading and from committing further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act. The development was cited by the regulator in an update published by Techub.

Spot gold edges higher Tuesday but stays below $4,200 an ounce

Spot gold posted a modest gain on Tuesday, though it continued to trade below $4,200 per ounce after an earlier sell-off in precious metals. The pullback had been driven by U.S. Treasury yields climbing to multi-decade highs and a rise in oil prices, according to the source report. An analyst at IG said gold only managed a limited rebound because markets expect the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates higher for longer. Traders are currently pricing in a 72.5% probability of a Fed rate hike in October. Market attention is now on upcoming U.S. economic data, including consumer confidence and job openings figures. The report was published by ChainCatcher.

The Kobeissi Letter says gold’s one-day drop ranks among the most extreme in nearly 20 years

The Kobeissi Letter said on X that gold posted an unusually sharp one-day decline, describing the move as one of the rarest daily drops seen in nearly two decades. According to the account’s figures, gold has averaged a daily move of +0.05% since 2006, with a standard deviation of 1.19%. Based on that framework, the latest sell-off translates to a Z-score of -2.90, placing it deep in the left tail of the return distribution. The post added that, under a normal distribution estimate, a one-day decline of that size carries a probability of roughly 0.2%. In practical terms, it said, such a move would occur about once every two years on average. The Kobeissi Letter linked the sell-off to a surge in US Treasury yields, arguing that the jump in yields is creating an unusual shock across precious metals markets. The comments were cited by Odaily in a market analysis brief published on Sept. 29, 2026.

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.

Spot silver was quoted at $62.44 per ounce, down nearly 3% over the same period.
