Gold Prices Plunge as Fed Signals Prolonged High Interest Rates

Gold prices plunged on Thursday, reversing the gains recorded during the previous trading session. The sharp decline came as market participants reacted to the U.S. Federal Reserve's latest policy announcement.[1][2]

According to reports from Washington, the Federal Reserve indicated that interest rates would remain higher for a few more months. This projection diminished the appeal of the precious metal, leading to the sudden downturn in gold prices on Thursday.[1][2]

Voters head to polls in US midterm primaries

Self-described ‘Maga warrior’ will face Jon Ossoff in November; polls close is Alabama, Oklahoma and Washington DC With 55% of the vote counted in Georgia, NBC News projects Mike Collins will defeat former football coach Derek Dooley to win the Republican primary for the US Senate. Collins currently leads by 10 points, 55% to 45%. The Associated Press has not yet made a call, but NBC’s analysis is based on the fact that Collins is doing better than Dooley in the votes cast on election day, which tend to favor candidates, like Collins, endorsed by Donald Trump , who hates mail-in ballots almost as much as he hates windmills. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/jun/16/midterm-primaries-election-updates-ge
