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
A bank holding metal is warehousing value rather than lending it, which is unusual for a balance sheet built on loans.
US dollar
Bank holdings are valued at market in dollars, which introduces a volatile item into otherwise stable accounts.
Fed & interest rates
Commercial banks hold metal on their own books, and the cost of financing it moves with policy.
Bond yields
Metal on a bank balance sheet earns nothing while funding it costs the prevailing rate.
Central-bank buying
A central bank and a commercial bank hold metal for opposite reasons: one as a reserve, the other as inventory.
