$$ ; What I don't understand is that all the economists ( Kitco ) have been saying is if there's a lot of inflation in the system its going to force the governments hand in raising interest rates.. Which took place thismorning.. The Government released data thismorning and it definitely raised some serious flags as far as inflation.. If you want to read it for yourself the articles in the Kitco site . If there's any economists out there that can explain why gold didn't react the way I thought, I'd appreciate it.
