(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/ikq167bdy5z8/public_html/propertyresourceholdingsgroup.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114The decrease in prices can be attributed to a rise in inflation in the United States as well as concerns regarding a more aggressive monetary policy by the Federal Reserve.
Gold prices fell to their lowest level in two years. Prices are going down because inflation is going up in the U.S. and people are worried that the Federal Reserve will use money in a more aggressive way.
On Friday, the price of gold fell to a level not seen since April of 2020, as investors remained wary of more aggressive interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. This was the case despite a new round of mixed data on the economy in the United States.
As of 11:00 GMT, the spot price of gold was reduced to $1,670 per ounce. Gold, which does not pay interest, has seen its price drop by close to $400 since it reached its all-time high in March.
According to Carsten Menke, head of Next Generation Research at Julius Baer, who spoke with Reuters on Thursday, “the gold market has clearly priced in a more aggressive US Federal Reserve ahead of next week’s meeting, reflecting the Central Bank’s determination to fight inflation.” The meeting is scheduled to take place next week.
In spite of the fact that most people anticipate a 75-basis-point (bps) increase, some people are even anticipating a one-percent increase. Menke says that the gold market partly shows this expectation. He also says that a 75-bps increase would be a pleasant surprise for the gold market.
“The market is pricing in a 1% rate hike for the following week, and the terminal rate is expected to be around 4.5 percent,” which is driving the damage. According to Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, who spoke to Bloomberg, retail sales that were stronger than expected are not helping.
This year, the precious metal has lost 9% of its value because of the Federal Reserve’s aggressive rate hikes, which caused money to leave assets that don’t earn interest.
