This morning (Sept 28) the gold market and the crypto space both saw a sharp plunge: spot gold fell by more than 2%, breaking below $4,200, and in the crypto market nearly 70,000 people were liquidated. When two major assets decline at the same time, there are basically three core reasons.
First, expectations of further Fed rate hikes suddenly heated up. Recent U.S. economic data such as the PMI came in strong. Inflation cooled less than expected, and the market has re-priced the Fed’s next moves— the probability of a rate hike in October has risen to about 65%. Gold is a non-yielding asset. When interest rates move up, money flows into the U.S. dollar and U.S. Treasuries—this is the most fundamental logic behind the drop in gold prices.
Second, the geopolitical situation has eased somewhat in stages, and the risk-premium has faded. Previously, gold’s rise was supported by safe-haven buying tied to the Middle East. Now, signals that the U.S. and Iran are releasing a restart of negotiations have cooled safe-haven sentiment, and with the premium embedded in gold naturally falling as well.
Third, the prior rally had been too large, leading to concentrated profit-taking by holders. Gold and cryptocurrencies such as BCH had all surged significantly earlier, accumulating a large amount of long positions’ profits. Once market expectations flipped, profit-taking capital exited in a concentrated way, and algorithmic stop-loss orders were triggered—directly amplifying the short-term sell-off.
In addition, today a domestic official account, “Ministry of State Security,” posted a message warning about the risks of virtual currencies. While this is a routine reminder, amid already fragile market sentiment, it further undermined domestic investors’ confidence.
