Gold falls to $4,000 as Fed bets lift dollar
Gold fell 0.80% to $4,000.08, fading after earlier rebounds as headlines cited a stronger dollar, real yields and Fed hike bets.
Gold resolved the U.S. session on the defensive, ending at $4,000.08 per troy ounce, down $32.30, or 0.80%. The day’s $3,999.09-to-$4,066.04 range showed an earlier rebound that did not hold into the finish, leaving the close near the session low. The Wall Street Journal reported that the dollar rose to a 19-month high on Fed rate-hike bets, while Kitco and Yahoo Finance had earlier described gold rebounding or recovering after the CPI-driven selloff.

Fed and dollar headlines dominated
The macro headlines stayed focused on rates. The Wall Street Journal reported that the dollar rose to a 19-month high on Fed rate-hike bets. CNBC said Fed official Goolsbee called the inflation report “borderline disturbing,” while AP News reported that higher prices seeping into the broader economy had Fed officials considering faster hikes. The New York Times reported that the Fed has to raise rates, but that officials are divided on how fast to go. Demokratis.co.id reported that Fed officials signalled faster rate hikes as U.S. inflation reached 4%, while Pluang and FXEmpire both linked gold pressure to rising U.S. real yields after CPI.
