BelajarGold — Market Intelligence (Tuesday, 10 November 2026). Following a decisive rebound above $4,100 to start the trading week, spot gold (XAU/USD) stands at a pivotal crossroads. Tonight at 08:30 AM EST / 20:30 WIB, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish the defining economic report of the month: the October 2026 Consumer Price Index (CPI). This print will dictate whether the Federal Reserve pursues a December interest rate hike or initiates monetary easing.

Tonight's US CPI Benchmark Forecasts

Wall Street consensus estimates heading into the release:

  • Headline CPI (YoY): Anticipated between 3.7% and 3.8% (compared to 3.7% prior).
  • Headline CPI (MoM): Forecasted to expand at a moderate 0.3% rate.
  • Core CPI (Ex-Food & Energy): Expected around 0.2% to 0.3% MoM, representing the critical core gauge analyzed by Federal Reserve governors.
