Gold Falls as Fed Rate Expectations Weigh on Prices

Original: Gold Falls on Expectations of Higher for Longer Fed Rates https://www.wsj.com/finance/commodities-futures/gold-falls-on-

Gold prices dropped as markets braced for the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates elevated for longer than previously expected. Higher rates raise the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, drawing investors toward bonds and other yield-bearing holdings. Traders are watching upcoming Fed signals and economic data for clues on the rate path.

Why now: Investors are reacting to shifting expectations about how long the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates high.
