📈Precious metals rallies ahead of next week Fed decision
Precious metals are gaining strongly just ahead of next week's Fed decision. Market expectations give a 45% probability of a 50 basis point hike at Wednesday's meeting. Earlier in the market, it was reported that funds increased their allocation in precious metals futures ahead of next week's decision. Although marginally higher core CPI inflation is unlikely to justify a larger cut by the Fed, all the while it cannot be ruled out.
