$XAU Hammack made it clear: inflation won’t simply fall back to 2%. It may take several more rate hikes to get there. Persistent inflation is still weighing on the market, and that’s exactly why gold and silver $XAG continue to stand out as inflation hedges. This Fed meeting also saw three hawkish dissenting votes at the same time—the first since 2016. The divisions inside the Fed are becoming more obvious, macro uncertainty keeps building, and risk-off capital could continue flowing into gold and silver. With September and October rate-hike expectations still swinging back and forth, the market may first dip and shake out weak hands before the next move. Buy the pullback and keep going long!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
