I really don't have a clue but would like to hear some other opinions.

BuckeyeCoinGuy Pillar of the Community United States 711 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 9:53 pm Interest rates are the natural offset for gold and silver. As interest rates go up, prices of the precious metals go down. Theoretically gold and silver should be at all time highs in a zero interest rate environment with any inflation, let alone high inflation that we are actually having but not reporting properly.

EconBrony Valued Member United States 336 Posts	Posted 07/15/2015 11:56 pm If we are leaving all other factors in the market out an increase in the interest rate should boost the value of the dollar in theory thus lowering the price of precious metals. If the raise in interest rates is expected by investors the raise in interest rates will have little effect on the precious metals prices. Report this Post to the Staff

EconBrony Valued Member United States 336 Posts	Posted 07/16/2015 2:19 pm High inflation in the early eighties, people clung to their PM metals. Those were some scary times economically. The high interests rates were the only way to correct the inflation. If paul volcker wasn't the fed chairman at the time things could have gotten way worse (scary thought).
