As of February 8, 2026, the XAU/USD (Gold) market is reflecting a period of extreme volatility but remains in a strong long-term uptrend. After a historic rally that saw prices pierce the $5,000 mark earlier this year, the market is currently consolidating.​Correction & Recovery: Gold suffered a "historic selloff" earlier in the week, briefly dipping below the $4,500–$4,700 zone before staging a dramatic recovery on Friday. Analysts are calling this a "bull market pause" rather than a trend reversal.
​Geopolitical & Macro Shifts: Demand remains high due to ongoing geopolitical friction and heavy central bank buying. Additionally, markets are pricing in potential Federal Reserve interest rate easing, which traditionally weakens the USD and boosts gold.
​"American Exceptionalism" Concerns: Recent reports (e.g., from BofA) suggest a shift away from US tech dominance toward commodities and emerging markets for 2026, positioning gold as a primary hedge.
​📉 Technical Levels to Watch
​Resistance: $4,973 and the psychological $5,000 barrier. A clean break above $5,075 could open the path to $5,330.
​Support: Immediate support is at $4,800. If the price falls below $4,725, analysts warn of a deeper correction toward the $4,500 "line in the sand."
​📅 Economic Calendar (Week Ahead)
​Volatility is expected to pick up starting Monday, February 9, with:
​US CPI Data (January): Highly anticipated inflation figures.
​Fed Speeches: Scheduled remarks from Fed officials (Waller and Bostic) on Monday.
​Employment Trends Index: Could influence USD strength and gold's "safe-haven" appeal.
​Note: The market will reopen later today (Sunday evening EST). Watch for a "gap" in price if there were major geopolitical developments over the weekend.

The Last of the Mau Mau Generals Has Fallen
The death of General Kiambati wa Njora, aged 106, marks the end of an era. Passing away on Monday, February 2, 2026, General Kiambati was the last surviving member of the twelve senior Mau Mau generals of “General rank” from Nyandarua County. With his departure, a historic chapter of Kenya’s struggle for independence quietly closes.

It is not merely his death that calls for reflection, but his life defined by courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to freedom. General Kiambati belonged to a generation that risked everything so that future Kenyans could live free. His heroism deserves celebration, his sacrifice eternal gratitude. May his soul rest in everlasting peace.

His passing extends a painful string of deaths among Mau Mau veterans in Nyandarua over the past three years. With no surviving member of the top echelon of these freedom fighters, it is a sobering reality that they have all exited this world without formal recognition by the government for the role they played in securing Kenya’s independence recognition they pursued relentlessly and with deep passion.
General Kiambati’s death was confirmed by his son, Maina Kiambati, who said the veteran succumbed to old age. According to Maina, his father spent his final weekend surrounded by his children and grandchildren at their home in Ngorika. In a poignant moment, he even participated in a memorial service for a grandson who had passed away ten years earlier, a quiet testament to a life that had come full circle.
Following his death, the body was moved from his home to a funeral home in Nakuru town, Nakuru County, as burial arrangements began.

Kiambati’s demise follows closely on the heels of other notable losses among the Mau Mau leadership: Brigadier John Kiboko (born Ihoya Kagwe), who died in August 2023 and was buried in Ngorika, Ol Kalou constituency; Mukami Kimathi, the widow of Field Marshal Dedan Kimathi, laid to rest in Njabini, Kinangop constituency
