Gold and silver equities tumble as Fed rate hike speculation lifts real yields
Question
Gold and silver equities tumble as Fed rate hike speculation lifts real yields
Direct answer
Precious metals mining equities experienced broad declines Friday following central bank commentary at Jackson Hole. Goldgroup Mining fell nearly 4% while SSR Mining retreated 4.41%, tracking spot declines across gold and silver contracts. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh indicated that underlying inflation risks may require additional policy firming. Higher expected discount rates and firm real yields historically reduce institutional bullion allocations, transmitting negative pressure to extractive equities. — bearish pressure on SSRM.
