世界黄金协会：美联储加息可能意外利好黄金

Odaily reported that the World Gold Council wrote in its gold market commentary report released on June 4 that, looking ahead, as inflationary pressures rise, the Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates. We believe that when a rate hike occurs, it could be counter-intuitively beneficial for gold.

Historical data shows that gold has performed positively following rate hikes in over 50% of cases. The importance of the US dollar's trend for gold seems to outweigh that of interest rates. Medium-term trends in growth and yields, along with the push to diversify away from US assets, have already paved the way for a weaker dollar in the future. Other factors also support gold: demand from major gold-consuming countries like China and India, as well as global central bank gold purchases, is structurally less sensitive to US interest rates and may provide support for gold in the future.
