Re:RE:RE:RE:At this momentGermany and France just reported lower than expected inflation number---might herald slowing even stop to rate hikes in that neighborhood---good for gold, especially now that Crypto has been exposed for what it is. imho Fed minutes might dampen our upward trend in POG, but nothing spectacular. Early on, when inflation reared the ugly head, the Fed blundered by saying it would probably be transient---why?who knows but they did. Then to try and look tough they began the 75 basis point hikes, put the blocks to inflation, tapered back to 50 on the last hike. The minutes might well indicated that they are in no hurry to taper off too quickly and signal to Americans that inflation is under control, they want fear to remain intact for a while until they're sure they're not going to look like fools again.
That's just me, take it for what it's worth, psychobabble, whatever, but I think gold is going to do very well in the long run, 2023 will be very good. IMO
