🌍 Why Metals Are Falling Despite Geopolitics
1️⃣🛢️ Oil-Inflation Spike
Houthi strikes pushed Brent > $100/barrel. Higher energy = inflation fears back.
2️⃣ 🏦 Fed Rate Hike Odds Surge
Markets pricing 78-80% chance of Sept hike. US 10Y yields > 4.6%. Hurts non-yielding bullion.
3️⃣💰 Capital Rotation to Energy
Institutions selling metals to buy oil/energy stocks for higher returns.
