Odaily News: Gold prices drifted lower within a rangebound trading pattern, as a stronger dollar and hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve officials further reinforced market expectations of monetary policy tightening. The dollar rose to a two-month high, making dollar-denominated gold more expensive for investors holding other currencies.Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy at Saxo Bank, said: "Gold continues to trade within the established narrow range of $4,300 to $4,400. Fed officials' remarks and their impact on U.S. interest rates, bond yields, and the dollar, along with oil price movements, are collectively providing the main directional cues for short-term traders."

Odaily reports: Glassnode posted on X platform stating that the Bitcoin "four-year cycle" pattern that the market previously relied on has not manifested in this bear market.

Odaily reports: U.S. President Trump recently once again advocated cutting U.S. interest rates to 1% or even lower, arguing that lower financing costs can boost corporate investment, reduce government debt costs, and enhance U.S. economic competitiveness. Meanwhile, on September 16, the Federal Reserve raised the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00%, the first rate hike since July 2023. Boston Fed President Collins subsequently expressed support for the hike, saying that inflation risks remain above the Fed's 2% target and that monetary policy needs to remain somewhat restrictive to bring inflation down sustainably.
