| GOLD +0.07% |
| Fed Chairman Jerome Powell stated that the institution is committed to lowering inflation, which is why he announced that interest rates could reach as high as 3.75% this year. Inflation is still far from the 2% annual target. He stated that the bank’s main interest is in fighting high inflation, even if it means creating an economic recession. Neo-liberals criticize this because, according to them, market forces of supply and demand balance assets, but not the state intervention. At the moment gold as a traditional hedging instrument is up 0.07% and is trading at USD$1,839 per Troy ounce. |

| WTI -0.06% |
| Interest rate pressure also fell on Oil & Gas companies, as investments and financing for them become more expensive as rates rise. U.S. domestic gasoline prices have reached USD$5 per gallon.
