Gold Drops More than 2% on US Rate-Hike Bets
Higher oil prices, a firmer dollar and rising Treasury yields lifted rate-hike bets, with traders pricing in about a 70% chance of an October increase.
- On Sept 28, Gold lost 4% to hit a seven-week low as rising Oil prices, a stronger dollar, and climbing Treasury yields created headwinds for the metal.
- President Donald Trump rejected a peace deal from Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz, causing Oil to rise about 3% and stoking inflation concerns that force The Fed toward higher-for-longer rate policies.
- Jim Wyckoff of the American Gold Exchange said rising Treasury and dollar strength are "creating a perfect storm to push the metals prices sharply lower," while traders see a 94% chance of a rate hike.
- Across the Markets, spot silver fell 4.3 per cent, platinum declined 2.8 per cent, and palladium lost 3.1 per cent on Sept 28.
- Markets now turn focus to job openings, the ADP employment report, Personal Consumption Expenditures readings, and nonfarm payrolls, all due this week.
