Gold Price Today: Bullion Hits One-Month Low as Strong Dollar, Hawkish Fed Drain Demand

Gold Price Today: Bullion Hits One-Month Low as Strong Dollar, Hawkish Fed Drain Demand

Gold slipped to its lowest level in over a month on Thursday, pressured by a stronger dollar and signals from a hawkish Federal Reserve, further dulling its safe-haven draw. By 0649 GMT, spot gold had dropped 1.1% to $4,764.27 an ounce—marking a level last seen on Feb. 6. U.S. gold futures for April shed 2.6% to $4,770. “The metal is struggling in a high dollar and high oil environment,” said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade. Silver, platinum, and palladium also registered declines.

Silver Price Today: Silver tumbles below $73 as hawkish Fed, stronger dollar and oil shock hit demand

Silver lost ground Thursday, with spot prices shedding 4.3% to $72.14 per ounce. The most-active U.S. silver futures dropped even further, sinking 6.34% to $72.675. The prospect of a hawkish Fed — traders’ speak for interest rates holding steady at higher levels — and a stronger dollar took precedence, dampening the usual safe-haven flows sparked by turmoil in the Middle East. "Bullion is struggling in a high dollar and high oil environment," said Tim Waterer of KCM Trade. Gold, platinum, and palladium joined the slide.

S&P 500 Hits ‘Line in the Sand’ at 200-Day Support as Oil, Fed Jitters Revive 10% Drop Call

U.S. stocks sit at a crossroads heading into Thursday, after the S&P 500 closed Wednesday just above its 200-day moving average—finishing at 6,624.70, with the long-term trendline coming in at 6,615.70. That line is in sharp focus for money managers. BTIG warns that if the index drops through 6,600, there’s potential for a move down to 6,000. Over on the Dow and Nasdaq, both have already fallen through their own 200-day marks.
