What’s moving gold today

Gold is trading around $4,409.34 per ounce and is little changed today. In the news over the past 48 hours, the conversation around gold is led by Inflation / CPI, Fed & interest rates, Safe-haven demand.

Inflation / CPI

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

Fed & interest rates

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

Safe-haven demand

A crisis that strengthens the dollar can leave metal flat in dollars and sharply higher elsewhere.

Bond yields

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

US dollar

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