Why Gold Price Crashed Today?

According to commodity expert NS Ramaswamy, gold is in tug-of-war due to Iran war, inflation, US dollar strength and Fed rate hike 5858

Main reasons for today's crash:

1. US Fed Rate Hike: Fed raised funds target to 3.75% to 4.00% on 16 Sep 2026, first hike in 3 years. Market expects 70% chance of second hike in October. Higher US rates make gold less attractive.
2. China Golden Week Holiday: Gold market in China closed from 1 Oct, so selling before holiday.
3. Strong Dollar & Rising Yields: US dollar strong, Treasury yields up, so gold under pressure. 5858

Expert says this crash is short term. For Diwali, gold may go up again due to festive demand.
