Inflation rises to 3.7%, gold drops $80 amid bond market shifts and Fed rate hike bets.

Inflation in the U.S. rose to 3.7% in September, driven largely by a 9.1% spike in gasoline prices, yet gold prices fell by up to $80 an ounce. This drop occurred despite inflation typically boosting gold, as rising Treasury yields and expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes increased the opportunity cost of holding gold. Former bond broker Mario Innecco highlights the end of a 40-year bond bull market, warning that rising yields could hurt bondholders and savers. He also suspects market manipulation in precious metals and expects continued inflationary pressures as the Fed struggles to control the currency's value. Investors are advised to consider short-term Treasurys for yield and view current gold prices as a buying opportunity amid uncertain economic conditions.
