Gold Settles Below $4,000 an Ounce, Heading for Nearly 4% Weekly Loss

Gold settled below $4,000 per troy ounce on October 24, 2026, according to The Wall Street Journal, and was on track for a weekly loss of nearly 4%. Gold pays no yield, so its price is its only short-run return. This is the latest test of the $4,000 level, which gold has crossed in both directions since October 2025.
