Why gold is plunging despite market volatility

But in the middle of a trade war, gold has fallen into a correction, down more than 10% from its high for the year. Why has the price fallen lately? Simply put, it's the strong US dollar. Expectations for more interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve have helped lift the value of the currency. A stronger dollar often is a bad thing for gold because it makes the metal more expensive for international investors. "The yellow metal has clearly struggled to register any meaningful recovery in recent weeks, despite global trade tensions creating uncertainty," said Lukman Otunuga, research analyst at brokerage firm FXTM, in a report to clients.

They’re betting that the opposite will be true as well, that gold will resume its role as protector and diversifier, even inflation hedge, when what they see as bloated price-to-earnings ratios and hints of higher inflation finally catch up to the stock market.
