Gold and silver slide after Warsh flags inflation fight, reviving September Fed hike bets
AI Market Summary
Warsh's Jackson Hole remarks reinforced a hawkish inflation stance, driving a sharp repricing toward a September rate hike. Short-end Treasury yields rose and the dollar strengthened, lifting real-rate headwinds for non-yielding assets and triggering a heavy unwind in precious metals. Gold and silver sold off materially as the labor data revision failed to deliver a dovish catalyst, while softer oil reduced geopolitical inflation offset.
