With the 10-year at 5.24%, gold and silver are still down over the past month despite Friday's gains of 1.3% and 2.2%, consistent with tightening pressure weighing on hard assets. Polymarket's October Fed market ($3.1M liquidity) still prices 84% no change and 16% for a 25bp hike, so a hike is a minority view, and the thesis rests more on yields than on an imminent move.
The ECB hiked in September on the energy shock, but officials speaking Thursday played down a near-term follow-up, which suggests a softer global tightening path than the Fed is priced for. Polymarket puts a 25bp Fed hike in December at 74% ($843K book) and no change in October at 84% ($3.5M book).
