Gold falls to seven-week low on inflation and rate-hike fears
Original: Gold hits 7-week low as oil-driven inflation fears boost rate-hike bets
Gold prices have dropped to their lowest level in seven weeks as rising oil prices stoke inflation concerns, prompting markets to bet on higher interest rates. Because gold pays no yield, expectations of rate hikes typically weigh on the metal. Traders are watching how oil-driven inflation shapes central bank policy next.
Why now: Surging oil prices are reviving inflation fears, shifting rate-hike expectations and pushing gold lower.
