This week, the high was seen at $2,213/oz, the highest price in over 10 weeks. The low was $2,060/oz. In the last 3 months, the metal’s value remains down a substantial -14.20% as the metal struggles to recover the extraordinarily high prices it had in Q1 and Q2.

Gold and silver prices continue to gain heavily from the inflation data that has come out in recent weeks. Even as US retail data released showed improvement in October, gold prices have remained stable near 5-month highs. In October, the data shows that retail sales increased 1.7% since September, greatly overperforming the expected 1.0% increase economists predicted. Year one year, retail sales are up 16.3%.

US Treasury yields in the last 2 weeks have made some strong gains which have pulled money out from non-yielding gold and silver. The increase in treasury yields has also caused the US Dollar to reach its highest level in well over a year. This has posed a great challenge for gold which is a dollar-denominated commodity.

Despite these challenges, the very present fear of stagflation has been acting as a major push for gold and hence why it’s been able to stand its ground. A 6.2% year-on-year CPI jump with RGDP increasing only 2% in Q3 2021 has made investors very wary that the stagflation of the 1970s might occur again.
