Gold prices today, Tuesday, September 15, 2026: Gold sees lowest open in weeks as Treasury yields keep rising

Gold prices hit a two-week low on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, as 10-year Treasury yields soared to their highest level since 2007. December futures opened at $4,340.30 per troy ounce, down 0.3% from Monday's close. As of 6:54 a.m. ET, the price had slipped to $4,315.30 per troy ounce. Rising yields and oil prices over $100 a barrel have heightened expectations of a Fed rate hike after the upcoming meeting.

The CME Group's FedWatch tool now gives a 92.5% chance of a rate increase after tomorrow's two-day meeting, up from 86.5% the previous day. Gold experts warn investors about two main risks: price and speculation. Despite recent gains, gold remains an unpredictable asset.
