The price of gold has been on a downward trend over the past week. As of November 7, 2023, the price of gold is down by 1.5% compared to the previous week and 3.5% year-to-date. The decline in gold prices is due to a number of factors, including the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance on interest rates and a strengthening US dollar.
Here are some of the reasons why gold prices have been declining:
- The Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance on interest rates. The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates in an effort to combat inflation. This has made gold less attractive to investors, as it has reduced the yield on gold-backed investments.
- A strengthening US dollar. The US dollar has been strengthening in recent months. This has made gold more expensive for investors outside of the United States, as they have to pay more dollars to buy the same amount of gold.
- Geopolitical uncertainty. The war in Ukraine and other geopolitical events have created uncertainty in the markets. This has made investors more likely to invest in safe haven assets, such as bonds and currencies, and less likely to invest in riskier assets, such as gold.
