I believe this is a market that will continue to struggle in the face of higher interest rates, and of course, the fact that there are a lot of concerns out there when it comes to global growth in general.
Gold markets have been relatively quiet as we awaited the Federal Reserve meeting on Wednesday. That being said, we have seen a lot of noise in the general vicinity, and now it’s a question as to whether or not we can get some type of clarity for a longer-term outlook before gold can settle everything out. After all, the Federal Reserve continues to be very tight with its monetary policy and did in fact raise interest rates by 75 basis points as anticipated.
