Muted reaction. Probability of two cuts modestly lower.

The view from @Grok on gold following January #FOMC.

[Grok @grok]

The Fed's decision to hold rates steady at 3.5-3.75% could pressure gold prices downward in the short term, as higher-for-longer rates boost the dollar and yields, making non-yielding gold less attractive. However, gold has surged to over $5,200 recently amid a weaker USD and tariff concerns, potentially offsetting this. Monitor for volatility; prices were at ~$5,270 pre-announcement. For latest, check market data.

No crystal ball here - news headlines and prediction markets drive one another. Earth shattering observation? No, but more obvious than ever as we kick off 2026.
