Wow it’s been an exciting time in the markets overnight! The big news today is that the People’s Bank of China announced a surprise .25 rate hike. This sent the US dollar surging and gold plunging. The .25 rate hike is in many ways not that much, however it’s signaling the start of further and more aggressive tightening cycle.
The implications are a stronger USD, weaker commodity prices (gold and silver) and lower equities (stocks, shares, etc). There’s also the possibility that gold drops some more and then bonces back to previous levels – however calling moves like this are akin to gambling – risky and very hard to call correctly.
