- Gold prices held flat on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, as markets awaited key U.S. inflation data, per WSJ and Reuters coverage.
- Iran tensions worsened, per Yahoo Finance, adding a geopolitical-hedge bid that helped gold stay above $4,400 after it scaled a two-month high, with soft U.S. jobs data also easing rate-hike concerns.
Why it matters: The pending U.S. inflation reading is the day's catalyst — soft jobs data already eased rate-hike concerns, so a hot print could reverse that relief and test gold's $4,400 floor while the Iran bid cuts the other way.
