Gold price prediction today: Where is gold headed? Check outlook for September 21, 2026 week - The Times of India

AI desk brief

Gold is rangebound in India at Rs 150,000–155,000 after failing to sustain above Rs 160,000, with immediate resistance at Rs 154,200–155,000 and key support at Rs 152,000. A break above Rs 155,000 could reopen Rs 157,000 and Rs 160,000–160,300, while a drop below Rs 152,000 exposes Rs 149,000–148,200.

The setup is cautious-to-negative: the Fed’s 25bp hike to 3.75%–4.00%, expectations for another increase by December, and the 10-year yield rebounding toward 5% are keeping pressure on non-yielding bullion. Trade tensions around Trump-Xi talks and elevated Middle East risk remain the main offsetting supports, so near-term direction should track yields, the dollar, crude, and US-China headlines.
