Gold price today, Tuesday, September 22, 2026: Gold prices holding as Chinese gold imports set record
On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, gold prices remained steady at $4,382.50 per troy ounce for December futures, unchanged from Monday's close. However, early trading saw a slight dip to $4,368.40 as the market opened. Despite the Federal Reserve's recent rate hike, signaling its first increase in three years, gold prices have maintained a narrow range.
This resilience is attributed to robust global demand, particularly from China, where imports soared to over 1,000 tons in August, surpassing the entire 2025 gold import total. Strong investment interest, bolstered by a strong yuan, has also contributed to the higher prices. Analysts like Zijie Wu from Jinrui Futures Co. attribute the premium onshore prices to the favorable conditions for gold imports.
