Gold has just spent a week increasing by more than 1.3% in value

Gold prices have just spent a week up more than 1.3% in value as Chairman Jerome Powell signaled that interest rates will continue to rise this year. At the Central Bank Symposium in Jackson Hole, the head of the Fed made clear, will maintain the 2% inflation target and not seek to cut interest rates soon.

Gold is surprisingly strong even with the dollar strong this week and the culprit is euro weakness (by 57.6% DXY). The dollar's strength has been amazing thanks to the reaction to tests of support, but gold continues to rise even against that backdrop.
