I read a transcript of an interview with Larry Summers in the NY Times a couple days back. He has been right about inflation so far, and thinks interest rates may need to go as high as 5% if the Fed is serious about cooling things off. nytimes.com

A few factors at play here. If real interest rates remain negative despite a rise in nominal rates, precious metal prices will likely still be supported. Rumors of peace breaking out in Europe will likely be negative for precious metals. If the war gets worse that would likely be supportive. For those of us using dollars, any significant weakening of the dollar will be supportive of precious metals, while dollar strength would be a headwind.
