What’s moving gold today
Gold is trading around $4,375.94 per ounce and is up today. In the news over the past 48 hours, the conversation around gold is led by Inflation / CPI, US dollar, Fed & interest rates.
Inflation / CPI
The gap between buying and selling prices tends to widen when costs rise, which quietly increases what holding costs.
US dollar
Both sides of a retail quote are built from the same international dollar price, adjusted in opposite directions.
Fed & interest rates
A shop buys back below what it sells at, and that spread is set by the shop rather than by any policy decision.
Bond yields
Metal bought at the selling price and sold at the buying price has to make up that gap before interest even enters the argument.
Safe-haven demand
In a rush, retail spreads widen first and stock runs out second, in that order.
