Why Gold Soared & What's Next

The market wire was buzzing Wednesday with regard to the moves in oil and gold prices. Each commodity moved sharply and partly for one common reason. With regard to gold, the day’s price move was the largest in a month, since the stock market correction in August. But stocks were higher as well, so then what was the catalyst? Well, inflation was seriously muted in the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August. If price increase is nonexistent, then the Fed has all the more reason to hold off on a rate hike Thursday. No rate hike means the dollar likely gives up ground, which serves both oil and gold prices. Now, if the Fed does go ahead and acts on interest rates Thursday, then Wednesday’s gain in gold should be immediately erased, but that’s not what I’m looking for. See the full report on gold here.
