Rhodium reports its 12th consecutive weekly increase as the nitrogen oxide reducing metal sees its value increase from $11,800/oz to $12,000/oz amounting to a 1.69% gain.

The US Fed’s upcoming interest rate hikes have created an uptrend in US Treasury bond yields which has acted as a pull factor on the non yielding gold. In the last month alone, the US 10 Year Treasury yield has increased a massive 19.49% from 1.457% to 1.741%, the highest it’s been in nearly 2 years.

Investors will look out for data on the upcoming US CPI which likely affect the dates on when asset tapering and interest rate hikes will take place. Current analysts place the inflation to be around 7.1% year on year.

As central banks move to tighten their monetary policies, investors will trade more cautiously in 2022 amidst rapidly rising inflation worldwide and possibility of stagflation.
