Gold declines after the release of US inflation data


September, 13 2022
watermark Economic news

The price of gold fell sharply on Tuesday after the publication of inflation statistics in the United States. Annual inflation in the country decreased to 8.3% in August after 8.5% in July. Analysts predicted an even bigger decline – up to 8.1%. The fact that the current indicator fell short of forecasts caused expectations of an even tougher approach of the US Federal Reserve System to monetary policy.


The daily minimum price for December gold futures was $1,706.95; the asset collapsed from the level of $1,742.75 per ounce. December silver futures are down 1.05% to $19.652 per ounce.


Analysts note that additional tightening of monetary policy in the United States will be positive for the dollar and the yield of the US government debt and negative, respectively, for commodities and assets used as a «safe haven». According to experts, 82% of analysts already expect the Fed's discount rate to increase by 0.75 percentage points, to 3-3.25% per annum.


Analysts are also confident that a rate hike in September is already a settled issue. Moreover, in November, the rate cut will most likely not happen.
