Gold futures fell 2.7% to $4,651.50\/oz, while silver dropped 4.1% to $72.735\/oz. At the same time, the U.S. dollar strengthened, which makes gold more expensive for global buyers and adds another layer of pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The bigger story here is how investors are reading all of this. When oil spikes, inflation expectations tend to rise, and that makes it less likely that central banks will cut rates anytime soon. In fact, some are now thinking rates could stay higher for longer. That is not great for gold, which usually does better when rates are falling and money is cheaper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">There were also some added headwinds, including a noticeable drop in Turkey&#8217;s gold reserves, which did not help sentiment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
