hike typically has a mixed effect on gold: higher interest rates raise the opportunity cost of holding a non-yielding asset like gold, which can be a headwind, but a hawkish signal that inflation concerns persist can also boost gold&#8217;s appeal as an inflation hedge and safe-haven asset.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s move in gold price appears to reflect the latter dynamic, with investors apparently reading the Fed&#8217;s signal of further tightening ahead as a sign that underlying inflation pressures remain a genuine concern, supporting demand for gold even in a rising-rate
