🥇 **Gold prices have fallen, but larger buyers are still buying.**

Gold fell 8.5% in US dollars during September. Yet global gold ETFs added 67 tonnes, China's central bank bought another 23 tonnes, and we've seen established NZ customers adding to their gold holdings.

📊 **In this week's market wrap:**

Gold held near NZ$7,409, while silver fell almost 4%. We also look at NZ government debt interest costs reaching $9.1 billion, plus a long-term silver chart that could reveal an important support level.

**You Don't Have to Pick the Exact Bottom to Buy Gold**

If you're thinking about buying physical gold, there are three broad approaches.

**Buy now:** Establish a holding at today's price, knowing prices could fall further.

**Wait:** Keep your funds available for a lower price, but risk missing a recovery.

**Buy in stages:** Spread purchases over time rather than committing everything at once.

There's another consideration for physical bullion buyers: smaller purchases can carry higher premiums and delivery costs.

Our new infographic compares the three options.

Gold and silver have bounced back today following yesterday's sharp decline, with silver leading the recovery after testing its June/July lows.

Silver surged 3.04% USD and 2.67% NZD, climbing to US$57.42/oz and NZ$102.32/oz.

**NZ Gold Has Bounced From Support Four Times. Will It Hold Again?**

Our 12 October NZ dollar gold chart shows the price has found support around NZ$7,250 on four occasions during the 2026 correction.

Gold has edged above its 50-day moving average, but the 200-day average remains overhead.

If support breaks, a return towards the July/August lows below NZ$7,000 is possible. A sustained move above the 200-day average would be a more encouraging sign.

We look at these levels, and whether they should affect your decision to buy or wait, in our updated guide.

Gold gained 1.49% in both USD and NZD, climbing to US$4,196.59/oz and NZ$7,497.93/oz.

Silver delivered the stronger move, surging 2.60% in both currencies to US$60.91/oz and NZ$108.82/oz.

Last week, gold managed to bounce off the important US$4,100 support area, while silver struggled below US$60.

Today both metals have moved higher, with gold approaching NZ$7,500 again and silver reclaiming US$60.

Could this be another sign that the recent support levels are holding and a stronger base is developing?
