Dollar hits 13-month high, gold tumbling — short gold miners as rates stay sticky

The US dollar just hit its highest level in over a year because investors expect interest rates to stay high. Since gold is priced in dollars, a stronger dollar pushed gold prices down sharply.

Idea

Gold gets hurt twice when the dollar strengthens: a strong dollar makes gold more expensive for overseas buyers, and higher interest rates make gold less attractive since it doesn't pay interest. With the dollar hitting a 13-month high and investors betting on rates staying elevated, the pressure on gold is likely to continue. This creates an opening to bet against gold miners or the metal itself until the dollar's run cools off.
