Gold steadies after sharp drop as hotter PPI lifts Fed hike bets
Gold prices steadied after a sharp fall. The cause was a hotter PPI, that is the US Producer Price Index, which tracks wholesale prices, and it lifted bets on another Federal Reserve rate hike. Higher rate expectations usually pull gold lower, because gold pays no interest. So if you hold gold, expect prices to stay jumpy for now.
Key Statutory Highlights
