What does the historical data say?

Gold is often assumed to struggle during periods of higher interest rates.

But looking at previous Federal Reserve hiking cycles tells a more interesting story.

Gold was frequently higher months after rate increases.

What happened during the last major US rate hiking cycle?

Many investors would expect gold to struggle.

But from 2015–2018, gold often rose after Federal Reserve rate increases.

The takeaway is not that higher rates are automatically bullish for gold.

It’s that interest rates are only one part of the picture.

Inflation, debt, expectations and broader economic conditions all matter too.

Precious metals moved sharply lower today, with silver testing a key support area.

Silver fell nearly 3% in USD terms and close to 4% in NZD, while gold declined around 1% USD and over 2% locally. A stronger NZD (+1.10%) added additional pressure to local pricing.

For months, rising US Treasury yields have created short-term pressure on gold and silver.

Despite higher yields, gold is no longer making fresh short-term lows. That could matter more than many realise.

In this week’s Wrap we look at:

• Why gold may be starting to resist rising yields
• 2026 gold and silver price targets from major analysts and banks
• Growing central bank demand for gold
• Why long-term monetary trends may still favour precious metals

27/05/2026

This chart surprises many people.

During the 1970s, interest rates rose aggressively as policymakers tried to fight inflation.

Gold still moved sharply higher.

The lesson is not that higher rates are always bullish for gold.

The lesson is that interest rates are only one part of a much bigger picture.

Higher interest rates are supposed to be bad for gold... right?

That’s the common belief.

Gold doesn’t pay interest, so when rates rise many assume investors will move into cash and bonds instead.

But history tells a more complicated story.

Gold has risen during several major rate-hiking cycles, including periods of aggressive increases.

Our newly updated guide explains:

• Why higher rates do not automatically mean lower gold prices
• Why inflation and debt still matter
• What previous rate cycles can teach us
