New since yesterday: Dhanteras and digital gold demand surge; Geopolitical developments drive gold moves; Gold and Bitcoin underperform in 2026; Gold mining company updates. Faded out: Broad market bearishness and asset underperforma; Central banks and reserve revaluation debate; Chinese buyers surge on price dip.
This is the sentiment of the news field around gold (XAU) — which way what is currently published pulls, and how strongly, on a scale from −1 to +1. It is not price and not a price forecast. Zero means forces pull in opposite directions and are roughly equal; the further from zero, the more one-sided the coverage.
We do not recommend using this index as your only source. It is one instrument among several — meant to be combined with technical, fundamental and any other analysis you run.
MAIN PAGE →Why the reading is where it is
Each narrative below is a story many outlets are telling at the same time. The score is its direction and strength, followed by how many headlines carry it and how many independent sources those came from — a story repeated across many outlets weighs more than a single note.
Gold prices drop toward or below $4,000 as a firmer dollar and rate-hike expectations weigh ahead of the FOMC decision.
Gold recovers above $4,000 as declining crude oil prices reduce inflation worries ahead of central bank meetings.
Mining companies report quarterly operational results, cost pressures, project developments, and M&A activity.
Gold fluctuates as markets weigh US-Iran tensions, Middle East diplomacy, and upcoming elections.
Analysts note gold and bitcoin rank among the worst-performing assets of 2026 despite persistent buyer interest.
Silver experiences steep declines and hits multi-month lows, underperforming gold amid technical breakdowns.
Indian festivals and long-term forecasts drive significant interest in digital gold, physical retail buying, and ETFs.
Daily local gold and silver price updates across India, Nepal, Pakistan, Vietnam, and other retail markets.

Where this number gets its authority
A single hourly run reads well over a hundred headlines from dozens of publishers, and it runs every hour — for Gold and for the other two instruments alike. This is a sweep of the coverage, not a sample of it. News stays the majority of the reading by design; for Bitcoin it is also blended with social sentiment from a curated list of X accounts and with crowd price-expectations from Polymarket, where the money at stake is real.
Narratives are the story at a glance — and a barrier against fakes
The Gold headlines above are grouped into narratives, so an hour of coverage can be read in seconds: what is being talked about, how loud each story is and which way it leans. The grouping is also the filter. A narrative needs at least two headlines from two different publishers, so a claim no other outlet carries — however loud — never earns its own line here. Promotional posts and the same story republished in another language are damped to near-zero, so wide coverage counts and noise does not.
