Gold and silver futures on India's MCX fell sharply after hotter-than-expected U.S. PCE inflation and solid GDP growth boosted expectations of a December Fed rate hike. Spot gold fell nearly 4% to $3,875.55 an ounce and spot silver dropped 6%.
Expectations of higher U.S. rates are supporting the dollar, which pressures dollar-priced commodities and can tighten financing for feed trade. Rising oil prices add cost pressure on the energy side.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
