đŸ”„ FED = THE REAL FUEL BEHIND GOLD & SILVER đŸ”„

2026 is here — and the Fed is still calling the shots for metals.

📉 December FOMC Recap:

‱ 3rd straight 25bp cut

‱ Rates now 3.50%–3.75%

‱ Opportunity cost crushed → gold & silver soared late-2025

⚠ But here’s the twist:

Dot plot shows only 1 cut in 2026.

Inflation’s sticky, jobs cooling but not collapsing.

Markets are front-running more easing — Powell leaves in May 👀

New chair = possible tone shift.

📅 Next Fed watch: Jan 27–28

No rate move expected, but minutes can move metals.

đŸ”„ Metals tailwinds:

‱ Central banks hoarding gold

‱ De-dollarization still alive

‱ Industrial silver demand booming

‱ Softer USD + global uncertainty

⛔ Risks:

‱ Inflation spikes → Fed may pause

‱ Crowded trades → sharp pullbacks

📌 Bottom line:

Lower-for-longer rates = metals stay supported.

2026 = volatility = opportunity.

Gold & silver sniff policy changes first đŸ§ đŸ’„
