USDMARKETS / GOLD INTELLIGENCEGold,
Gold,
in context.
Price is the headline. Rates, the dollar, inflation expectations and geopolitical risk explain the move.
Four signals to watch
Real interest rates
Gold competes with yield. Falling inflation-adjusted rates usually reduce the cost of holding a non-yielding asset.
The U.S. dollar
A weaker dollar can make gold cheaper for overseas buyers; a stronger dollar can create the opposite pressure.
Risk demand
Financial stress and geopolitical uncertainty can lift safe-haven demand, though the response is never automatic.
Central banks
Reserve purchases can create structural demand that behaves differently from short-term investor flows.
