Headline (Trading Economics, Jul 30): "Gold rose to ~$4,080/oz, up 0.36% on the day." With equities reeling from Wednesday's Fed-driven plunge (Dow -1,100) and volatility elevated, gold is catching a safe-haven bid and has stabilized after its multi-week pullback; near-term risk-off flows outweigh the higher-yield headwind, so I lean up over the next day.
