We talked yesterday about the building pressure in emerging markets, driven by weakening currencies and rising dollar-denominated oil prices.
With that bubbling up as a potential shock risk, gold hasn’t exactly been telling the story of elevated risks.
I suspect we’ll see gold snap back to reflect some increasing market risks, and especially to reflect a world where central banks are beginning to finally see inflation pressures build. The gold bugs loved gold when inflation was dead. And now that it’s building, they are surprisingly very quiet.
