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 inflation destroys wage income, more people turn to informal mining, which adds supply for reasons unrelated to markets.
US dollar
Payment passes through local intermediaries before reaching a dollar price, and each step takes a margin.
Fed & interest rates
Small-scale operations account for a fifth of world supply, and their production responds to price rather than policy.
Bond yields
Informal producers operate without credit, so interest rates never enter their calculations directly.
Central-bank buying
Buying domestically produced metal formalises part of that supply, which is a policy aim in several countries.
