Gold prices have breached, and continue to trade below the physiological level of $1650, largely because of a surging dollar index, which sits on a new high of 113.567 and an overtly hawkish outlook painted by the US Fed. The fact that central banks globally are ready to sacrifice growth to rein in inflation, have clearly paved the path for a higher interest rate regime, which doesn’t augur well for a non interest yielding gold prices. Adding to that, recession fears have further added to the safe haven appeal of the USD, propelling it higher. The pain will continue for gold in the short term.
