• Today’s Fed announcement – what it means for gold

    So far 2022 has given investors a never-ending buffet of risks: markets are volatile, war in Ukraine rages on, and inflation continues to send the prices of everything soaring higher. 

     

    But there is a silver (and gold) lining to it all…

     

    Periods of high inflation can be an opportunity for gold and silver investors. 

    And inflation doesn’t look to be letting up anytime soon. 

     

    Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, admitted this trend is likely to continue, “we’re going to see upward pressure on inflation, at least for a while…

     

    The current rate of inflation is 7.9%, the highest in four decades.

     

    People are getting worried about inflation continuing to rise,” reports Forbes.

     

    And according to a Bankrate survey, 26% of Americans believe their financial situation will be worse in 2022, and of those 70% blame inflation.

     

    Which is why the Fed is under increasing pressure to fight inflation… 

    Today, the central bank is expected to announce an interest rate hike and the end of its massive bond buying program.

    In other words, to dampen inflation, the Fed is reducing its support for the US economy and asset prices.

     

    But this is only the beginning of a tightening cycle the likes of which we haven’t seen since the late 1970s, a time of extraordinary gains for precious metals.

     

    Are we on the cusp of another bull market for gold and silver?

    Well, a word of caution, metal prices actually tend to fall at the initial hike. 

     

    Already, gold is trading lower this week as we enter a period of seasonal weakness for the yellow metal.

     

    This could be a possible “buy the dip” opportunity.

     

    As gold historically rises during rate-hike periods:

    Which is why demand for gold may be rising, in fact:

    Comex gold deliveries in 2021 were more than triple the 15-year average. 

     

    U.S. Mint gold coin sales hit their highest level, over 1.25 million ounces, the most since 2009.

     

    In China, retail gold sales have rebounded, with the strongest sales surprisingly coming from 20- and 30-year olds. 

     

    And in India, gold imports hit a record $55.7 billion in 2021, surpassing 2019’s high and more than double 2020.

     

    • Meanwhile, central banks continue to buy gold with global reserves now at a 31-year high.

    Short-term demand for precious metals appears to be building, possibly setting up further price appreciation…

     

    But the real reason to hold physical gold and silver is to preserve your purchasing power over time. Gold is a store of value, not a trade.

     

    Gold can retain value when inflation eats away at savings accounts and increases living expenses.
