🔥 FED = THE REAL FUEL BEHIND GOLD & SILVER 🔥
2026 is here — and the Fed is still calling the shots for metals.
📉 December FOMC Recap:
• 3rd straight 25bp cut
• Rates now 3.50%–3.75%
• Opportunity cost crushed → gold & silver soared late-2025
⚠️ But here’s the twist:
Dot plot shows only 1 cut in 2026.
Inflation’s sticky, jobs cooling but not collapsing.
Markets are front-running more easing — Powell leaves in May 👀
New chair = possible tone shift.
📅 Next Fed watch: Jan 27–28
No rate move expected, but minutes can move metals.
🔥 Metals tailwinds:
• Central banks hoarding gold
• De-dollarization still alive
• Industrial silver demand booming
• Softer USD + global uncertainty
⛔ Risks:
• Inflation spikes → Fed may pause
• Crowded trades → sharp pullbacks
📌 Bottom line:
Lower-for-longer rates = metals stay supported.
2026 = volatility = opportunity.
Gold & silver sniff policy changes first 🧠💥
