Gold Falls Toward $4,395 in Monday Asian Session Below $4,400

Gold price tumbles to near $4,395 during the early Asian session on Monday. That is the Monday 7 September 2026 stamp, corrected at 01:45 GMT to say Asian session, not European.

Hot NFP. FedWatch lifts hike odds.

US Nonfarm Payrolls climbed by 162K in August, following July’s 21K and beating market expectations of 56K by a wide margin on that page. Markets dialled up bets on a September rate hike, pricing in a roughly 58.3% likelihood versus an even chance earlier in Friday’s session, according to CME FedWatch on the same page. Higher hike odds dent non-yielding bullion. The page also stamps Middle East escalation color — Iran said it targeted tankers after US attacks over the weekend — as oil-driven inflation fear that can weigh on gold.
