Gold, Silver ETFs and Metal Stocks Decline Amid Fed Rate Hike Expectations
Gold and silver ETFs and metal stocks declined sharply amid rising expectations of US Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, driven by hawkish comments from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. Precious metals prices fell for several sessions, pressured by stronger bond yields, a stronger dollar, and profit booking. While some experts advised investors against panic selling, wealth managers like Monarch PMS outlined potential bullish scenarios for gold and silver by year-end, balanced by downside risks tied to economic conditions and Fed policy. The market remains sensitive to inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions affecting energy prices.
