Precious Metals Plunge as Fed Policy and Inflation Weigh Heavily
Gold and silver prices have plummeted this week, with gold falling below $4,000 and silver nearing $50. The Federal Reserve's decision to hold interest rates steady, combined with rising inflation and strong labor market data, has increased the likelihood of another rate hike in December, pressuring precious metals. The gold-to-silver ratio has widened to 78-to-1, signaling silver's underperformance. While short-term supply dynamics suggest continued pressure on silver, long-term structural deficits and monetary concerns could support a rebound in both metals.

US Jobs Data Could Push Fed Toward Rate Hikes

Intuitive Surgical Stock Dips Despite Strong Revenue Growth
Intuitive Surgical's stock fell despite a 22% revenue jump, as investors focus on competition from Medtronic and Johnson & Johnson. The company's growth continues, with more da Vinci systems sold and procedures performed. The real revenue driver is parts and services, not the robots themselves. The stock has since recovered, but the initial drop highlights investor concerns. The Motley Fool Stock Advisor did not include Intuitive Surgical in their top 10 stocks list.
