RE:The gold jump will be very short lived
Actually, no you are not. They won't raise in April, and I would bet they push out increases until teh end of the year.
You have the Fed weighing not only recent weakness in US economic performance, but recent low Oil prices that impact inflation. The fed is weighing inflation (which won't hit 2% for a while), especially if Oil remains low, general economic conditions and the USD, which will also negatively impact the US economy.
Big picture - not reliance on one word.
