Thoughts on metals given recent CPI and Fed speak

Watching metals closely here after the latest CPI print came in a bit hotter than some expected, followed by a few hawkish comments from Fed members. The dollar has predictably found a bit of a bid, which usually isn't great for the likes of gold or silver, but there's a flip side. If the market starts pricing in higher for longer on rates, industrial demand might get squeezed, but haven't seen a significant pull back in $GC_F yet. It's making me wonder if the inflation hedge narrative is just that strong, or if we're just waiting for the next catalyst before a clearer direction emerges. My watchlist is heavy on gold miners, but I'm holding off on new entries until there's more clarity on real rates.
