Duke cornerback Kimari Robinson has publicly apologized for swatting at a female trainer who was tending to one of his teammates. The incident, which was captured on the broadcast and went viral, occurred during the Blue Devils' loss to UNC on Saturday after Duke safety DaShawn Stone went down in a scary moment.
In a statement posted to social media, Robinson apologized for his conduct, saying that he had also apologized to the trainer in private after the game.
"I want to publicly apologize to the member of our training staff for how I acted toward her during Saturday's game. I was completely wrong, and she did not deserve that," Robinson wrote. "Immediately after the game, I apologized to her personally and checked to make sure she was okay."
Robinson added that his outburst stemmed from worry about Stone, who Robinson said "is like family."
"I was scared he might be seriously hurt. But being worried about him does not excuse how I treated her. I should have controlled my emotions, and I didn't," Robinson continued. "I'm truly sorry for my actions and for letting her, myself and our program down. I have to be better than that."

An unfortunate moment went viral during Week 7 of the college football season, when Duke Blue Devils defensive back Kimari Robinson shoved a female athletic trainer who was trying to help treat injured Duke safety DaShawn Stone, who was lying motionless on the turf.
The athletic trainer was trying to create ******* e as Stone was being treated, but Robinson took issue with that and shoved her arm away.
That led to plenty of discourse on social media, with several fans calling out Robinson's actions as inappropriate, while others understood the emotion involved after seeing such a terrifying injury in the middle of the game.
On Sunday night, after taking some time to reflect on the moment, Robinson issued a lengthy apology on social media. He says he apologized to the trainer in person before going public with his statement.

Duke football defensive back Kimari Robinson apologized after he received backlash for swiping at a team trainer trying to attend to an injured player.
During Duke's rivalry game against North Carolina on Saturday, Oct. 17, Dashawn Stone was injured in what looked like a serious injury, and Robinson went to check in on his teammate.
However, when a trainer came on the field to help, Robinson swiped his arm at the staffer, who looked to be shaken by it as she tried to attend to Stone.
The moment went viral on social media with Robinson receiving backlash for his actions.
"I want to publicly apologize to the member of our training staff for how I acted toward her during Saturday's game," Robinson posted on social media on Sunday, Oct. 18. "I was completely wrong, and she did not deserve that. I apologized to her personally and checked to make sure she was okay. The injured player on the ground, DaShawn Stone, is like family to me, and I was scared he might be seriously hurt. But being worried about him does not excuse how I treated her. I should have controlled my emotions, and I didn't.

Florida exempts a $600,000 IRA from Medicaid's $2,000 ***** et limit once the account enters payout status through RMDs or regular distributions.
Every IRA distribution counts as income against Florida's $2,982 monthly cap, and nearly all of it goes directly to the nursing home.
A named IRA beneficiary keeps the remaining balance out of probate, blocking Florida's estate recovery claim under Fla. Stat. § 409.9101.

A Florida retiree entering long-term care with $600,000 in her IRA looks like an automatic Medicaid denial. A single applicant there can't hold more than $2,000 in countable ***** ets. Thankfully, Florida's IRA Medicaid rules leave a narrow opening: once a retirement account is in payout status, the state can exclude the balance from the ***** et count. This means withdrawals still count, each distribution is treated as income, and that income ends up paying most of her nursing home bill.

Jim Cramer has built a career on conviction calls, and few have been more consistent than his faith in Amazon (AMZN). For years, the Mad Money host has treated the retail giant as close to untouchable. A permanent fixture in nearly every portfolio he recommends.
That changed, briefly and publicly, after watching a rival's AI demo live on air. Here is what Cramer actually said, the stock moves that gave his comment real weight, and what it all means for anyone holding either name heading into the rest of the year.
Also read: Jim Cramer noticed something odd about the stock market
Cramer made the comment live on CNBC's Squawk on the Street on September 28, after watching a demonstration of Meta's (META) new AI shopping capability. "I'm an Amazon guy, but maybe I shouldn't be. This seemed impressive," he said, speaking as a shopper describing his own buying habits rather than making a stock call.
The timing gave the remark unusual weight. Meta shares had climbed roughly 24% over the prior month. Amazon fell roughly 8% over the same stretch. Investors were already debating which company was winning the fight for online shoppers before Cramer weighed in.

Sophie Okonedo is one of my favourite celebrities, so I was delighted to see her back on the red carpet for the Clarissa press tour. However, while looking back at her appearances today, I realised that I completely missed her at the film's Cannes Film Festival premiere. So that is where I'm going to start.
Earl Gibson III/Deadline via Getty Images
Since Sophie has always had an affinity for simple silhouettes with dramatic accents, this custom Dior feather-trimmed dress made perfect sense for her.
What I appreciate most is that the feathers aren't treated as an embellishment confined to one area. They trace the asymmetric neckline before sweeping around the skirt and into the train, giving the black dress the kind of personality Sophie's red carpet looks tend to have. It's glamorous, but still feels entirely within her wheelhouse.
I think the new hair colour and style may have been the reason she slipped under my radar in Cannes. I'm so accustomed to seeing Sophie with her signature cornrows that I genuinely didn't recognise her at first.

NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal once admitted that he treats his daughters and sons differently.
Former NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal has wasted his fair share of money during his playing career, but he learned from his mistakes and created a multi-million-dollar empire in recent years.
Despite having an estimated net worth of about $500 million, all six of O'Neal's children aren't treated equally.
In fact, he once explained that his three daughters, Taahirah, Amirah, and Me'arah, have 'more privileges' than his sons, Myles, Shareef, and Shaqir.
O'Neal made the revelation during an August 2026 appearance on the 'It's Sommer Time' podcast. The LA Lakers legend's reasoning has nothing to do with how close he is with his children.

Three students were airlifted from the bus to the hospital.
A school bus filled with children rolled over in a multi-vehicle crash Monday morning in central Florida, killing two and injuring multiple others, according to authorities.
The bus was traveling to a high school and carrying 39 passengers, including 37 high schoolers, the bus driver and the driver's 9-year-old daughter, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said in a press conference Monday morning.
Two people died in the crash, including a tenth-grade girl on the bus and the driver of a Jeep involved in the crash, Judd said.
Five to seven trauma alerts were issued and multiple people are being treated at the hospital, including one in critical condition, according to Judd.

Meghan Markle is reportedly planning to do another round of an explosive tell-all interview with the support of her husband, Prince Harry. For those unversed, Harry and Markle stepped down as working royals and relocated to the U.S. in 2020. The couple participated in various interviews, sharing their honest, critical thoughts on the royal family, including the Oprah Winfrey show and their self-titled documentary. This move comes after the massive uproar reportedly caused by Princess Diana's brother's memoir.
Sources close to Closer revealed that Meghan Markle wants to give a big interview, mirroring Princess Diana's 1995 Panorama interview. According to sources, the Suits star is aware that it might cause a backlash, as her Oprah interview did a couple of years ago. However, she is keen on setting the record straight, in her own words.
The source said, "Now, she thinks it's time for her to speak out again. She wants a Diana moment – in the same way that she shocked everyone with her Panorama interview." The insider explained that the Sussexes' PR team is worried that it may generate major controversy. However, Prince Harry is on board with this, as he remembers how the royal family seemingly mistreated his wife. He does not want the same for Markle and is encouraging her to speak her truth.
"He doesn't want her to feel silenced – he wants her to speak out," the source added. If Markle does go ahead with the tell-all interview, it would be another blow to the royal family's reputation after Charles Spencer's book.
For those unversed, Spencer has levied some controversial allegations against the royal family, particularly her former brother-in-law, King Charles. The Daily Mail published an excerpt detailing an explosive phone call between the king and Spencer.

As Sen. Thom Tillis exits the Senate, he's blasting many of the advisers President Trump has surrounded himself with as "sycophants, and calling on his colleagues to stand up to executive power like the co-equal branch of government they are."
The 66-year-old senior senator from North Carolina unloads on what he calls the "WTF moments" of the second Trump Administration in a new book, "How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents." Having served in the Senate during the Barack Obama, Joe Biden and both Trump presidencies, Tillis said he's increasingly worried about how the nation's system of checks and balances is being tested by the outsized influence of the executive branch.
"We will have a sort of dictator king if we're not careful," he said.
Every recent White House has been eager to govern by executive order, something that's been especially true during the current Trump administration, Tillis said. Presidents, he said, fail to understand that Congress is a coequal branch that should be treated as a peer, and that Congress needs to act as such.

Chris Rock dished the big "problem with wokeness" is it turned its true believers into coldhearted prudes who are unwilling to forgive people for supposed transgressions, no matter how big or small.
The comedy icon weighed in on the "Woke 1.o era" during a Saturday interview with The New York Times in which he compared it to the Old Testament… or what Jews simply refer to as the Bible.
Rock said it was "great" that society became more concerned with how "marginalized" people are treated in recent years, but he said the movement has gone way too far and become ruthless.
"The problem with wokeness is we're in the Old Testament right now, okay," Rock said. "The Old Testament has no forgiveness. The Old Testament didn't work, so they had to write a remix called the New Testament."
The Interview co-host David Marchese followed up by saying there has been a lot of talk about it lately, especially after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) declared "Woke 1 was crazy!" back in August.

Sean "Diddy" Combs may not be getting out of prison as soon as expected after a Dateline segment this week detailed the luxe lifestyle the rap mogul has allegedly built behind bars, complete with a team of fellow inmates treated like his personal staff.
Since arriving at Fort Dix in October 2025 after more than a year at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, Combs has seen his projected release date bounce around the front half of the 2028 calendar, shifting several times between January and June. It now stands at Jan. 21, 2028. In that time, he has entered a drug rehabilitation program at the New Jersey facility, has been involved in a fight with another inmate, and violated several prison rules while serving a 50-month sentence for Mann Act violations.

The lethal drug administered in Tennessee's failed attempt to execute Christa Pike has been used in multiple states that carry out the death penalty and by the U.S. government after President Donald Trump resumed federal executions during his first term.
Pike, 50, remained alive after two doses of pentobarbital were administered Wednesday, according to her attorneys and media witnesses. One of her lawyers said Thursday that she was being treated at a hospital.
Tennessee officials haven't explained yet what went wrong during the execution.
Republican Gov. Bill Lee ordered a third-party review to determine what happened and said another scheduled execution in Tennessee will not take place this year.
Pentobarbital is a barbiturate, a class of drugs that depresses the central nervous system.

Rick Ross' attorney brought up his client's celebrity status while asking for a quick release from custody. The judge made it clear that fame would not change how she treated him. The rapper appeared by video before Miami-Dade Judge Mindy Glazer on Thursday following his arrest on domestic violence-related battery charges. When his lawyer requested an expedited release for safety reasons, Glazer responded that she had "no idea" who Ross was. Ross has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence.

Attorney Steve Sadow identified Ross by his legal name, William Leonard Roberts II, while asking the judge to speed up his release. "Mr. Roberts is a celebrity. I don't know to whatever degree Your Honor can, but I'd ask that his release be expedited," Sadow said.
The attorney argued that a faster release would be in his client's best interest. Glazer addressed Ross directly in her response. "Hi Mr. Roberts. I have no idea who you are, except as somebody here in the court who's going to be treated fairly, just like everybody here," she said.
Ross had been booked around 6:10 a.m. Thursday before making his video appearance. His bond was set at $4,000 for the felony battery by strangulation charge and $1,000 for the misdemeanor battery charge.

Alison Hall learned she had a 36% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer after taking an on-camera ******* sment inspired by Olivia Munn's story
An MRI and biopsies led to an early-stage diagnosis at age 32
She chose to undergo a double mastectomy and hopes her experience encourages younger women to advocate for additional screening
After her mother was treated for breast cancer when she was a teen, Alison Hall says she "thought there may be a risk that I would get breast cancer at some point in my life."
But as the Inside Edition reporter, now 34, tells PEOPLE, "I thought it was something I would deal with much later, at least in my 40s, if not 50s, 60s." Her doctors shared that view, telling Hall that she should start getting mammograms around the time she turned 40.

Ahead of the release of Zach Cregger's reboot today, there were already seven Resident Evil movies — six of them in a more action-oriented series starring Milla Jovovich, four of which were directed by her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, plus an unrelated "reboot" in 2021 called Welcome to Raccoon City that went for more of a John Carpenter vibe and was an attempt to truly "adapt" the games. There's also a Netflix TV show version that ran for a single season in 2022. Countless other works in the horror genre have unofficially cribbed from the Resident Evil games over the years. It's an incredibly influential series.
And yet, Zach Cregger, hot off his Oscar-winning original horror film Weapons, is the first filmmaker to truly feel like he's adapting the experience of playing the games, arguably the scariest survival-horror ones ever made, rather than simply incorporating story and plot elements to explain the outbreak of infected people. In Cregger's hands, Resident Evil is pure crowd-pleasing popcorn cinema, best experienced in a packed movie theater with dozens of other people reacting loudly to the madness.
The premise couldn't be simpler — and the runtime a brisk 90ish minutes — as we follow a medical courier named Bryan (Austin Abrams, proving himself to be the Bruce Campbell for a new generation) who unwittingly finds himself fighting for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in a swirl of chaos. Fans of the video games will recognize various easter eggs and nods to game mechanics, including the importance of conserving ammo and checking every last drawer for more of it.
But you don't need to be familiar with the games at all to enjoy the movie, which is an efficient horror set-piece machine that just keeps putting Abrams in increasingly concerning situations. I can't stress enough how much this is a one-man show anchored by Abrams, and he crushes it. He's in every scene, earning tons of laughs simply by reacting as a normal person would in this situation; he's a true audience-surrogate character, ushering us through the chaos. His comedic timing, paired with Cregger's ****** ured camerawork and editing, is a match made in genre-movie heaven.
I didn't expect it to be so heavily inspired by genre classics like The Thing and Evil Dead. In fact, it's a better Evil Dead movie than the last several movies with "Evil Dead" in the ****** le, nailing the horror-comedy tone that only Sam Raimi and a few others can pull off with aplomb. Cregger has a ton of fun with the various monstrous forms that the infected take here, from fusing multiple humans together to crafting his own horror take on a big, scary guy like Dune's Baron Harkonnen. Resident Evil movies have thus far treated the zombies as pretty traditional movie zombies; Cregger's version gets at the attempt to create the next stage of human evolution.

Six-Month Run: NVDA stock has climbed 20.6% since mid-March, a 45.4% annualized pace, even as the S&P 500 wobbled under the Fed's rate hike and a 10-year Treasury yield near 5%.
Model Verdict: TIKR's model puts fair value at $643, implying 193% total return by early 2031.
Coverage Split: Nvidia stock carries 48 buy ratings, 10 outperforms, 2 holds, 2 no opinions and 1 sell, with a mean target of $328, 50% above the current price.
Supply Squeeze: Nvidia guided to roughly 70% revenue growth for fiscal 2028 on demand it calls supply-constrained, with cloud industry backlog above $2 trillion.
Nvidia (NVDA) stock has climbed 20.6% since mid-March, a 45.4% annualized pace, while the Federal Reserve's first rate hike in more than three years pushed the 10-year Treasury yield toward 5% and dragged the S&P 500 into back-to-back weekly declines. Most of the market treated the hike as a reason to sell. Nvidia stock kept climbing anyway.

The shipping industry group continues to show why it's one of the best in the current stock market, with boatloads of stocks making new highs. Among them, Scorpio Tankers (STNG) and Matson (MATX) remain in buy zones.
Shares of Monaco-based Scorpio climbed above the 87.39 buy point from an 18-week pattern. The buy zone goes to 91.76. It had already climbed above resistance around 81, a level that could have been treated as an early entry.
After slumping for much of 2024 and 2025, earnings growth surged 157%, 193% and 232% the past three quarters. Sales growth accelerated 26%, 48% and 76%. Scorpio, Tuesday's IBD Stock of the Day, has a 98 IBD Composite Rating.
Matson made new highs the past week but has settled back near its 230.74 buy point from a seven-week base. The buy range goes to 242.28. The company, which mainly serves the Hawaiian islands, has a 98 Composite Rating.
Genco Shipping & Trading (GNK) is at the top of a buy range in choppy trading following a breakout past a 26.80 handle buy point. Genco is the largest U.S.-based shipper of dry-bulk commodities. Iron ore is one of its principal shipments. It made a 52-week high Thursday.

Back in 2021, banks treated crypto like radioactive waste. Fast forward to 2026, and financial giant Visa (NYSE: V) isn't just dipping a toe in -- it's basically cannonballing into the deep end of the stablecoin pool.
Here's what Visa has done recently, and why it's huge for anyone holding crypto.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
In July, Visa introduced the Visa Stablecoin Platform (VSP). Think of it as a plug-and-play stablecoin toolkit for traditional banks and fintechs.
Instead of traditional institutions sweating over managing private keys, setting up multi-sig wallets, or figuring out how to mint and burn tokens, Visa handed them a slick "Wallet-as-a-Service." Starting with Open USD, an upcoming token, Visa will also support the popular USDC (CRYPTO: USDC) coin later this year. Banks can now hold, move, and settle stablecoins using the same enterprise-grade security tools they're already comfortable with. It's in beta testing for now, pending the Open USD launch.

Stock indexes gave up an early advance and settled mixed on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 falling to a 6-week low, and the Dow Jones Industrials sinking to a 3-month low. The broader market retreated on Wednesday after the FOMC voted unanimously to raise interest rates by +25 bp and signaled one more rate hike later this year to contain inflation.

Nat-gas prices retreated from a 1-week high on Wednesday and settled lower as a decline in European nat-gas prices to a 1-week low sparked long liquidation in US nat-gas futures. Nat-gas prices initially rose on Wednesday on the outlook for above-average US temperatures, which should boost nat-gas demand from electricity providers as air conditioning use is expected to increase. The Commodity Weather Group said Wednesday that above-average temperatures are expected across the South and Southeast through September 25.

The Nasdaq 100 has rallied slightly to show signs of life as we head toward that crucial Federal Reserve interest rate decision later today. A hike of 25 basis points is expected. This is perhaps the market coming to terms with the new reality as we hold the consolidation.
The question will be whether or not Kevin Warsh sounds extraordinarily hawkish during this press conference, or if it is a situation where it is one and done. I think that probably comes into play here as well. Rates are backing off the 5% level in the 10-year at the moment, at least, but it is worth noting that the market has been extraordinarily resilient.
The Dow Jones 30 is rising a bit in the early part of the session as well. It is in the oversold part of the stochastic oscillator. It is kind of a messy look for the stochastic oscillator at the moment, but it is worth noting that the area right around 52,250 has been important and so far seems to be holding up. The 50-day EMA near the 52,700 level offers pretty significant resistance, so it could be worth watching.
The S&P 500 continues to hang around the 7,600 level. That is an area that had previously been significant resistance and now is offering a significant amount of support over the last 4 or 5 trading sessions. We also have the 50-day EMA there as well. So, a bounce from here and a recovery just means more consolidation.
It will be interesting to watch how this plays out during that press conference. It could be a volatile and ******* py session, but ultimately, the stock market has been rather resilient. The earnings calendar treated us fairly well, and the resiliency of the U.S. economy continues.

International Business Machines (IBM) has risen 6.0% over the last five trading days while the S&P 500 fell 1.3%. A run like that in a weak market pulls money in, but the five-day move is not the question worth answering. What matters is what IBM does to your money when the market moves. Most of what IBM does has little to do with the market.
On days the S&P 500 rose over the past year, IBM captured about 83% of the gain. On days the index fell, IBM took about 102% of the loss. That is a one-year reading of daily moves. For investors evaluating a recent breakout, an asymmetric downside capture ratio warrants closer inspection.
IBM is not a quiet stock. Over the past five years it ran 30.3% annualized volatility against 17.2% for the S&P 500. Its daily moves have tracked the index with a correlation of only 0.36 across those five years, so most of that movement is IBM's own. Independence like that comes from what IBM sells, and when its customers buy.
Software is nearly 45% of IBM's revenue, and about 80% of that software revenue is recurring, coming from subscription and consumption products like Red Hat, HashiCorp and Confluent. The other 20% is transactional. Large clients buy the mainframe and its software stack on enterprise license agreements, generally treated as capital spending.
That last 20% is what slipped in the second quarter of 2026. Management says many clients redirected spending toward servers, storage and memory to secure supply-constrained infrastructure ahead of expected price increases. Tens of large deals did not close on time, and transaction processing revenue fell 9% while data grew 18%.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky returned to the Senate to vote on Monday for the first time in three months, looking noticeably more frail after he was hospitalized for a June fall in his home.
McConnell's lengthy absence from the Senate generated a flood of criticism and online speculation, as he initially remained quiet for weeks about his condition. The 84-year-old senator eventually disclosed a month later that he had been "briefly unconscious" due to the fall and had also been treated for mild pneumonia in the hospital.
He briefly addressed reporters Monday from a wheelchair outside the Senate chamber, smiling but speaking slowly and with some difficulty. McConnell joked that he wasn't sure how many reporters would be there after dodging so many questions during his almost two decades as leader.
He said he was back in the Senate to work on a pending farm bill and because he has an ongoing interest in NATO and "backing up our good friends who are totally in the fight against the Russians."
Reporters and photographers were told by Senate staff not to take video of his remarks in the second-floor hallway, even though video is often permitted in that area. Still images were allowed.

NEW YORK — This time, Gunnar Henderson came through in the clutch.
The Baltimore Orioles' star shortstop hasn't often been the source of big hits in key spots this season, a down year in several regards. Henderson, who still has yet to collect a walk-off hit in his career, entered Monday's game with a .674 OPS in close-and-late situations
That moment will have to wait, but Henderson enjoyed the next best thing Monday with a go-ahead home run in the eighth to help Baltimore beat the New York Mets, 2-1. With the score tied and the Orioles looking for a big hit all night, Henderson took right-hander Dedniel Núñez deep for his 23rd home run of the season and his first since Aug. 30.
Baltimore (73-78) won the series opener to give Pete Alonso a happy homecoming in his first game back at Citi Field since the Orioles signed him away from the Mets in free agency. The home team treated Alonso, who spent seven seasons in Queens, to a scoreboard tribute video and multiple standing ovations. Entering the game sitting on 299 career home runs, he went 0 for 3 with a walk.
With the win, the Orioles pulled back to within three games of the third American League wild-card spot. Their playoff odds have dwindled to the single digits, but Baltimore is not yet eliminated with 11 games left to go.

"WWE Raw" is in Mexico City at Arena CDMX this Monday, Sept. 14, following AAA TripleMania weekend. After winning his way through WWE's No. 1 contender luchador tournament, Penta finally gets his shot at the World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns in a true spectacle match for the promotion's weekly programming.
Reigns has been embroiled in matters between Solo Sikoa and LA Knight as of late, but his next challenger is former the Intercontinental Champion.

NEW YORK – If there's anyone who knows how to command a room, it's Nene Leakes.
The "Real Housewives" OG brought a little Atlanta to New York Fashion Week, attending Sergio Hudson's spring/summer 2027 show on Sunday, Sept. 13. Hudson brought the glamour to NYFW, hosting his show at one of New York's most iconic venues — the Rainbow Room.
Guests including Mickey Guyton, Muni Long and Sunny Hostin ventured to top of Rockefeller Center for Hudson, but it was Leakes who stole the show. The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star entered the glittering ballroom moments before the first model took to the runway, but that didn't stop a swarm of photographers and fans from trying to get a snap of the Bravo star. Leakes took her seat next to "Beauty in Black" actress Crystle Stewart as the two posed for front-row photos.
Leakes showed off a classic Hudson creation, donning a bodycon little black dress from the designer's fall-winter '24 collection. The sleeveless LBD featured an extra-long gold zipper extending from the neckline to the hem. The reality star styled the look with black patent pumps and a gold-embellished clutch.
"Me and Nene go way back … When I met her, I was a little ****** ody, and she always treated me really well, so I take care of her, 'cause she always took care of me," Hudson told USA TODAY backstage after his show. "She's a superstar."

Gold and silver investors have had to contend with some sharp price moves so far in 2026. Gold, for example, surpassed $5,500 per ounce early this year, but has since retreated significantly from that record high, with the price of gold sitting closer to $4,275 per ounce as of mid-September. Silver, on the other hand, has also experienced sizable price swings as investors have responded to shifting expectations for inflation, interest rates and the economy.
And those price movements could become even more **** ounced in the days ahead. The Federal Reserve meets September 15 and 16, and persistent inflation has increased the possibility of another rate hike. That prospect matters for precious metals investors because changes in interest rates can quickly alter where investors put their money and how much they're willing to pay for **** ets such as gold and silver.
Still, the outcome isn't as simple as higher rates automatically leading to lower precious metals prices. Gold and silver are being pulled by several competing forces right now, and the Fed's decision is only one of them. So, if the central bank does raise rates this week, what could it actually mean for gold and silver prices — both immediately and in the months that follow? That's what we'll examine below.
Find out how you can use gold and silver to protect your portfolio today.
If the Fed raises rates at its September meeting, gold and silver prices could face some short-term pressure, as higher interest rates tend to make other interest-bearing options, such as bonds and savings products, more attractive. Gold and silver **** ets don't pay interest, though, so some investors may be less willing to hold them when they can earn higher returns elsewhere.
