The CME Fed Watch tool, which has been a reliable indicator since 2008, currently implies a 50% probability of a 25 basis point interest rate increase at the upcoming October Fed meeting, from the current target rate of 3.50% to 3.75%. This potential rate hike could influence gold and silver prices and provides further justification for discussions around raising rates.
