Another 25bps. Not gonna lie, I was half expecting them to pause given all the banking sector jitters, but here we are. My family's been in timber around Spokane for generations, so I've always had a pretty conservative, long-term view on wealth, especially with my own portfolio which is sitting somewhere around the higher end of the $250-500k range these days. Most of my gold is in a Gold IRA, with a decent chunk of physical outside of that.
My big question now is, how do you seasoned investors see this affecting the gold market in the short to medium term? Part of me thinks the Fed just doubled down on fighting inflation, which should be good for gold as a hedge. But then you hear all the talk about recession risks increasing, and typically gold does well in those environments too. It feels like we're in this weird limbo where both outcomes (continued inflation or recession) could theoretically support gold, but the immediate reaction in price always seems to be a bit of a head-scratcher.
Iām trying to decide if this is a buy-the-dip moment if gold pulls back, or if I should just hold steady. My main goal is capital preservation and generational wealth transfer, not trying to hit a home run, so I'm generally pretty patient. Just curious how this Fed move is altering anyone else's strategy or outlook. Are you rebalancing? Holding tight? Thinking of adding more to your precious metals IRA?
