Gold craters as global rate hikes kick in — short the metal's continued slide
Gold prices have fallen to their lowest level in six months. This is happening because central banks around the world are aggressively raising interest rates to fight off rising prices caused by the Iran war.
Idea
You would normally expect gold to go up when inflation rises, but right now it is crashing because interest rates are climbing even faster. When rates go up, gold becomes less attractive to investors since it doesn't pay out any yield compared to safe government bonds. Both Europe's central bank and the U.S. Federal Reserve are expected to keep hiking rates to fight inflation sparked by the Iran war. With the price already at a six-month low, this downward momentum is likely to keep pushing gold lower as borrowing costs rise.
