DW NOTE
Gold at $4,420 is still 17% below the January high of $5,318. The dollar is weakening not because the Fed is dovish — traders price a 58% chance of a September hike — but because oil at $96 and a closed Strait of Hormuz mean imported inflation whether the Fed likes it or not. Treasury yields rising alongside gold is the market saying: neither safety nor stability is on offer.
