Why did Gold move?
Pick any day. Barqish compares the move with a normal day, checks volume, separates the market-wide part from Gold’s own part, flags key levels, and lists dated headlines from that day.
Biggest moves in the last 30 days:
Gold rose 0.14% on 30 Sep 2026, closing at $4,185.50.
That was a quieter day than usual (a typical day moves about 0.99%).
Volume was only 0.0× its 20-day average, so the move came on light trading and may carry less weight.
Gold has not moved closely with the US dollar (measured against the euro) lately (correlation -0.18), so that explains little of this move.
It traded in a 0.24% range and closed in the middle after swinging both ways.

Headlines are shown for context. A headline on the same day is not proof that it caused the move.

How this works
- Normal day: the move is compared with the median daily move of the previous 90 days, and ranked against the past year.
- Market part: gold is compared with EUR/USD as a dollar gauge; silver is compared with gold. It is an estimate, not an exact split.
- Headlines: dated headlines from publishers that mention the asset, from about six hours before the day starts to six hours after it ends (UTC). Our own archive runs from 30 September 2026; older crypto, gold and rupee days use the GDELT news index where available.
- Free and Pro: free explains the last 30 days; Pro explains any day in the full history.
Education, not financial advice. A headline on the same day is not proof of cause.
