Line chart showing the spot gold price per ounce climbing above $4,500 before easing in mid-August 2026.

Gold eased to $4,481 an ounce Thursday, giving back part of the prior session's gain even as President Trump escalated economic threats against Iran overnight. Oil rose on the same news, the response a genuine geopolitical risk premium would produce, but gold did not follow. The split points to gold's sharpest recent gain having been driven by the US Treasury's debt buyback and falling real yields earlier in the week, not by the Iran standoff.
