SO OK TRADING’s ANALYSIS | Gold Price (XAU) Report — October 30, 2026
✨ Gold Market Overview Global gold spot prices are hovering near the psychological level of $4,000 per ounce, after a sharp daily decline of $36.99. Strong U.S. economic data — Q3 GDP growth at +3.4% and Core PCE inflation rising to 3.1% — has reinforced inflationary pressure and increased the likelihood of a Fed rate hike in December.
In Thailand, the latest domestic gold bar price (96.5%) is Buy ฿63,600 / Sell ฿63,800, directly reflecting global market sentiment.
Key Market Pressures
High Inflation & Oil Prices: PCE rose +0.5%, crude oil surged above $110/barrel.
Margin Call Selling: Tech stocks plunged, forcing funds to liquidate gold for liquidity.
Strong Dollar & Rising Bond Yields: Capital flows into U.S. Treasuries and the dollar continue to weigh on gold.
Technical Outlook
YLG Bullion: Support $3,989 (Stop Loss below $3,976), Resistance $4,040 – $4,082
InterGold: Support $3,990 (฿63,800), Resistance $4,070 (฿64,500)
Ausiris Gold: Below $4,000, Resistance $4,070 – $4,082
Analysts broadly assess gold as being in a Sideways Down (consolidation/downtrend) phase, with a critical test at $3,940 – $3,950. A break lower could trigger a move toward $3,880 – $3,900.
Investment Strategy
Short-Term: Buy near support $3,989 – $3,990, with strict Stop Loss below $3,976.
Medium–Long Term: Q4/2026 is seen as an accumulation phase within $3,900 – $4,300, preparing for a rebound in Q1/2027.
Long-Term Outlook (XAU) Despite short-term pressure, global financial institutions remain bullish on gold:
Goldman Sachs: $4,650 end-2026 → $5,400 end-2027

Q1/2027: Gradual accumulation, targeting $4,600 – $5,000, with long-term potential toward $5,400 – $6,300.
