Gold dropped about $50-88 on 10 Sep after the ECB raised rates 0.25% (its second hike this year) and US producer prices (PPI) accelerated on higher energy costs tied to the Iran conflict. Markets now price about a 71% chance of a Fed hike at the 15-16 Sep meeting. For a Thai SME, this is background: it signals firmer global rates and oil-driven inflation, which can feed into baht and import costs over time. If you hold gold for jewellery or savings, watch the US CPI release on Friday; no action is needed today.
