Precious Metals Markets
Today in Precious Metals Markets· Nov 12
Gold retreated as traders positioned for Federal Reserve rate increases, which raise the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion and typically strengthen the dollar against other currencies. Higher real rates make interest-bearing assets more competitive with gold while a stronger dollar prices the metal higher for foreign buyers, compressing demand from both directions.
