Gold holds $3,945.98 after rebound talk; oil and Fed path dominate

At the 5 pm New York close, our feed showed gold at $3,945.98 an ounce and silver at $50.62, both flat on the day after reports described a rebound from recent lows. Most coverage tied the bounce to softer oil (cooling inflation fears) but said Fed tightening expectations and stronger U.S. data remain headwinds.
