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
The case for holding an ounce is an argument about decades, tested by one monthly figure at a time.
US dollar
The world price and the local price are separated by an exchange rate that moves for reasons of its own.
Fed & interest rates
The rate path decides what money earns while it waits, and metal earns nothing at all while it does the same.
Bond yields
A bond matures and repays a stated sum; an ounce has no maturity and promises nothing at all.
Central-bank buying
States buy bullion to hold rather than to trade, which is what makes their demand so steady.
