Gold Bounces Back After a Rough Slide
After last night’s wild ride, the price of gold has steadied—though not quite back to the calm levels we once enjoyed. The dip was sparked by a few big news items that made it look like the pair was getting a little too calm for its own good.
Why the market went down
- Middle East easing – A ceasefire seems within reach, so investors are feeling less insecure about global stability.
- Trump’s new tariffs – A 25 % duty on Mexico and Canada goods, plus a 10 % jump on Chinese imports, stirred up some uncertainty.
- New Treasury Secretary – Scott Bessent is aiming for a phased‑in approach to trade limits, hinting that tariffs might settle into the admin’s policy rhythm.
- Fed minutes preview – Investors are waiting for the November meeting’s minutes, hoping they’ll give a clue whether rates will cut in December.
Short‑term reality check
Gold is still under pressure from the strong dollar and the high treasury yields. If those forces stay in place, the metal will continue to feel the squeeze.
What could change down the road?
Trade tensions could ramp up again, and that would throw a wrench into global commerce. In that case, investors might scramble for safe‑haven assets—gold coming top of the list—as they dodge market volatility and economic hiccups.
