What’s moving gold today
Gold is trading around $4,375.94 per ounce and is up today. In the news over the past 48 hours, the conversation around gold is led by Inflation / CPI, US dollar, Fed & interest rates.
Inflation / CPI
Where households buy metal by habit rather than by calculation, price data explains very little about demand.
US dollar
A stronger dollar raises the local cost everywhere at once, which is the one thing every consuming market shares.
Fed & interest rates
Consumption per person varies enormously between countries, and none of those habits change because of a rate decision.
Bond yields
A saver in a high-rate economy gives up more by holding metal than one in a low-rate economy.
Central-bank buying
Official demand is concentrated in different countries from retail demand, which is often overlooked.
