What’s moving gold today
Gold is trading around $4,375.94 per ounce and is up today. In the news over the past 48 hours, the conversation around gold is led by Inflation / CPI, US dollar, Fed & interest rates.
Inflation / CPI
Technology has offset rising input costs for decades, which is why production kept growing as grades declined.
US dollar
Cost improvements are measured in dollars per ounce, the same unit the revenue arrives in.
Fed & interest rates
Heap leaching and other processing advances lowered the cost of extraction, which changed supply far more than any rate ever has.
Bond yields
New processing plants are financed with debt, so the pace of technical adoption depends partly on interest rates.
Safe-haven demand
No processing advance can respond to a demand shock, since it takes years to build and commission.
