That's why this is one of the last great buying opportunities for gold and silver. If the Fed Not Raising Interest Rates Was Bearish for Gold, Can the Fed Raising Rates Also Be Bearish?
There has been a lot of talk about how the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates is allegedly going to be bearish for gold. Since gold has been able to decline for more than four years without the Fed increasing rates even once, it is illogical to conclude that a Fed rate increase will be negative for gold. It isn't reasonable that the Fed not raising rates and the Fed raising rates are both bearish for the yellow metal. Historically, as long as the Fed has been behind the curve in raising rates more slowly than inflationary expectations have been rising, the price of gold has tended to perform well during periods of Fed rate increases. It is difficult to imagine the Yellen Fed being as proactive as Paul A. Volcker had been at the end of the 1970s and in the early 1980s. The Yellen Fed seems to like to preserve its power by keeping investors guessing, and the easiest way to do that is to only raise rates when there exists the possibility of an additional rate hike. One analyst described this phenomenon concisely in this essay with which I generally agree.
