<Lowering borrowing costs does not contribute to inflation and it is inflation that makes our PM stocks sizzle.>

Ultra-low interest rates reduces the contango necessary for gold producers to benefit from hedging, thus eliminating the element of accelerated supply, that plagued gold a few years ago. Of course I've made my interpretation of the inflation question known before, so I won't repeat it, but this environment of low interest rates and a weak economy is killing the USD, and gold is benefiting as an alternative store of money or value.
