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

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