Gold and silver prices continue to gain momentum as markets try to decipher the latest drama out of the White House, and according to Kitco’s Peter Hug, the political landscape could prove to be positive for the metals. “You’ve got to be somewhat impressed with the resilience of the metals after the selloff,’ he told Kitco News Tuesday. ‘I think the primary story is really the issues developing in front of our eyes at the White House,’ he added, noting that it could even cause a delay in rate hikes by the Federal Reserve in June. ‘If the Fed is worried that the Trump administration’s initiatives might be stalled, they may wait until the next meeting and if that happens, gold gets a lift.’
