Rate Hikes Continue, But So Will Gold's Rally - Axel Merk

"The price of gold has been moving higher even if rates have been moving higher. And it's either the folks investing in gold are looking beyond the hump when rates are eventually going to go down, and eventually they will, real interest rates haven't really gone higher, inflationary pressures are moving a little bit higher; and at the end of the spectrum, of course, people buy gold for diversification and as rates go higher."
