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
A long stretch of falling real prices is the part of the history most descriptions of this metal leave out.
US dollar
That decline coincided with a strong dollar, which is the clearest long-run illustration of the relationship.
Fed & interest rates
The metal fell for two decades after 1980, and interest rates were high through much of that period.
Bond yields
High real yields for twenty years are the simplest explanation for why the metal did so badly.
Central-bank buying
Official selling was heavy through the 1990s, and agreements were written to slow it down.
