🚨 GOLD JUST LOST 5.5% BUT THIS ISN’T JUST A GOLD STORY
#GOLD hit a 3-month high near $4,697 last week. Now it's down roughly 5.5%.
So… what changed❓
Not gold. The macro backdrop did.
🇺🇸 Fed expectations turned more hawkish.
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signaled that rates may need to stay higher if
#Inflation remains above target. And markets are now pricing roughly a 66% chance of a September rate hike.
Then look at Treasury yields 👇🏻
📈 10Y U.S. yield → ~4.79%
📈 Oil → $92+
📈 Inflation concerns → rising
And that's a nasty combination for
$XAU Why?
Gold doesn't pay interest. So when Treasury yields rise, holding a yield-generating asset becomes relatively more attractive. That's why gold is getting hit.
BUT HERE'S WHAT MOST PEOPLE ARE MISSING… 👇🏻
$XAU was up roughly 16% in August before this pullback. So a 5.5% correction after that kind of rally doesn't automatically mean the bull trend is dead. In fact, some major analysts are STILL bullish. Goldman Sachs reportedly keeps a $4,900 year-end target, while central-bank demand and geopolitical/fiscal risks remain important long-term supports.
🧠 My read:
🔴 Short term:
Higher yields + hawkish Fed = pressure on gold.
🟢 Medium/long term:
Inflation + debt + geopolitical risk = the gold bull thesis isn't necessarily broken. And here's where it gets interesting for
#crypto traders: If yields continue climbing and liquidity tightens → risk assets, including crypto, can feel the pressure. But if yields eventually reverse and rate-cut expectations return?
$XAU + Bitcoin could both get another liquidity-driven move. So I'm watching gold, yields and BTC together, not separately.
