Locked in place, day after day. Markets don’t work that way.
Nothing new with “Fed WeeK”. A known .25 increase was bad for the miners. Had it been a .25 decrease, it would have been bad for the miners.
Following the Federal Reserve interest rate decision today, I am expecting the “price of gold” focus to shift to USA’s interest on debt. There should be an update to the St. Loius Fed’s estimates this week for 2Q2023 (1Q2023 was $928 Billion).

Events to watch:
(1) The USA Congress’s Appropriations process for the yearly budget is ongoing, with concommitant distractions.
(2) A $1,000 Billion (my 2Q2023 prediction) yearly expenduture for interest payments will become a much discussed issue, for the dramatic effect on appropriations (and the concept of a balanced budget). For example, the interest payments may exceed appropriations for one of most-expensive programs (Military, SS, Medi)
(3) I expect the USA Congress to begin to blame the Federal Reserve interest rate hikes for the above budget predicament, along with many other national woes.
(4) Guess what happens to the Federal Reserve Rate next?
