Gold closes at $4,467.15 as Fed-rate talk still dominates the narrative

Gold finished Thursday at $4,467.15 an ounce, up 1.94% on the day, even as most commentary going into today stayed focused on higher rate-hike odds and a stronger dollar as headwinds. Silver and the PGMs also rose sharply, while several reports framed the broader backdrop as still driven by inflation fears, bond yields, and central-bank policy expectations.

Every point cites the reports it came from. On Fridays it writes a recap of the week.
