🚨 GOLD & SILVER SELL OFF AFTER THE FED!
🏦 October 29, 2026 | Precious Metals
🟡 Gold: −1.1% to $4,024/oz
🔘 Silver: −2.3%
The Fed held rates at 3.75–4.00%, but inflation concerns and the possibility of another December hike are weighing on precious metals.
🔍 WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Higher interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold and silver.
⚡ THE NEXT CATALYST
US PCE inflation data could reshape rate expectations and trigger another market reaction.
💡 For crypto investors, watch gold-linked tokens such as PAXG and XAUT. Tokenized gold offers blockchain access to gold exposure, but issuer, custody and redemption risks still matter.
💬 Will precious metals recover, or will higher-for-longer rates keep the pressure on?
