Gold, U.S. Dollar & Interest Rates

Even if the currency traders are worried about a December interest rate hike to the extent that they think it is negative to foreign currencies, gold traders do not seem to care about how an interest rate hike might impact the price of gold because the price of gold (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:GLD)) is rising even as the probability of a December interest rate hike is rising.

Which says either gold traders do not believe those numbers and they feel that a December interest rate hike is not coming or they correctly concluded that even if the Federal Reserve does raise interest rates in December its no big deal. Its too little to late to be a negative for the gold market because the Federal Reserve is going to deliver far less than it promised when it comes to interest rate hikes.

More Money Will Move Into Gold

As the potential for an interest rate hike is diminishing the appeal of Gold (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:GLD)) is improving. Gold prices (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:GLD)) are now back above 1260. We had a couple of back to back strong days in the gold sector (Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX)) and maybe this most recent correction of the upward trend which the catalyst for it was the renewed expectation of a November and December interest rate hike, I think as those expectations are reallistically dialed back we are going to see more money moving into the metals (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), iShares Silver ETF (SLV))
