## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, emerging expectations of another U.S. rate hike are likely to strengthen the U.S. dollar index and place modest downward pressure on gold and growth‑sensitive industrial metals such as copper and aluminum. Risk assets exposed to higher real yields will see incremental outflows, especially in EM FX like MXN and ZAR. This move will interact with existing geopolitical risk premia, slightly offsetting upside in oil but biting harder into metals tied to global manufacturing. Confirmation would be higher implied probabilities in Fed funds futures, a firmer DXY, and intraday softness in XAUUSD and HG futures; denial would be dovish Fed communications that reverse the pricing of an additional hike.

## Drivers

- Warning that the Fed is now projected to raise interest rates again this year
- Historical negative correlation between higher U.S. rates and dollar-denominated commodities
- Ongoing global growth concerns tied to multiple conflict theaters
