If gold still holds above $4,000 while yields rise, should I buy this weekend?
Only if your budget, product list, and all-in premiums already fit. Holding a round number shows demand is resilient — not a green light by itself.

Should I wait for CPI on Oct. 14 or the late-October FOMC?
Only if your plan depends on those prints. Many Tualatin buyers set dollars and a shortlist first, then shop Saturday while the yield vs gold tug-of-war is already visible.

Gold or silver when the ratio sits near ~68–69?
Ratio is context, not a timing tool. Match liquid products to your budget — often a recognized 1 oz gold coin if dollars work, or a measured silver stack for more ounces per dollar. Call ahead for live asks.
