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

An investor in Europe holding metal has done well in some years when a dollar investor did badly, purely on currency.

US dollar

Cross-currency quotes strip out the dollar leg, which is the cleanest way to see what the metal itself is doing.

Fed & interest rates

Metal quoted against the euro or the yen behaves differently from the dollar version, and a decision moves the two apart.

Bond yields

Interest rates differ by currency, which is why the forward curve for metal differs depending on which currency prices it.

Central-bank buying

Reserve managers hold metal against a basket of currencies, so they watch the cross rates rather than the dollar quote.
