$黄金主连(2502) (GCmain.US)$和$白银主连(2503) (SImain.US)$traded sharply lower last Thursday, extending losses into a third straight session, following the release of Federal Reserve minutes showing that some policymakers were willing to raise interest rates to fight inflation. The minutes sparked concerns that the Fed could start raising interest rates sooner than expected, which would increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold.
As of last Friday, the spot price of gold fell by 2.5% to $1,843 per ounce, while the price of silver saw a 3.1% increase to $30.6 per ounce compared to the previous week.
