What moves gold
Gold pays no interest, so it mostly reacts to three things: real interest rates (when they rise, holding gold costs more in what you give up), the dollar (gold is priced in dollars) and fear (wars, bank stress, political tension). Central bank buying and flows into gold ETFs matter too.
How we measure
For each instrument we compute its "usual" move over 4 hours of open market (the median of recent days, excluding weekends and closed hours). When we publish a story, we look at the price 4 market hours later: if it moved more than usual we write "moved the price", otherwise "the market did not react". A big story with a flat price usually means the market already expected it.
Frequently asked questions
Why is gold moving today?
Look at "The news, measured" above: you'll find today's verified stories about gold and, for each, whether it moved the price more than usual. If there are none, the move has no verified public cause.
How do you tell whether a story moved the price?
We compare the move in the 4 market hours after the story with that instrument's usual move over the same span. The calculation is automatic and the same for every story.

No. Tickerlane says what happened and what the market is pricing, never what to do. We make no price predictions.
