Gold at a one-year low

Gold for December delivery fell $132.50 to $3,898.90 an ounce, a 52-week low, according to market data. That leaves the metal far below its January record of $5,595. Silver dropped to around $49.14 to $49.28 an ounce. market data and market reports said that both metals hit 52-week lows.

The selling reflected a shift in expectations for the Federal Reserve. Markets moved to price in a rate hike at the December meeting, according to CME FedWatch data cited by market data. Because gold and silver pay no interest, higher rates make them less attractive compared with bonds and cash. Firm oil prices and worries about Inflation added to the pressure, according to market data.

Fed officials lean hawkish

The Fed held rates steady this week, but Governor Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack dissented, each preferring a quarter-point hike. Chair Kevin Warsh said at his press conference, "But inflation remains elevated." He also said, "I don't believe in forward guidance absent exigent circumstances, absent a crisis."

On Friday, St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem said, "I judge that additional firming of Monetary Policy will be necessary, and soon." Inflation data released Thursday showed headline and core PCE at their highest levels since May. "Both headline and core PCE rose to their highest levels since May, underscoring that inflation remains a stubborn issue," Bret Kenwell of eToro said, according to Fox Business. Economic growth has also been strong, with third-quarter GDP growing at its fastest pace in a year.

Miners move together

Coeur fell alongside other precious-metals producers. Hecla Mining (NYSE:HL), Endeavour Silver (NYSE:EXK) and Silvercorp Metals declined with silver, while Newmont (NYSE:NEM), Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE:AEM) and Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE:WPM) dropped as gold slid.

The S&P 500 fell 140.32 points to 7,580.07, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 572.25 points to 51,770.31 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 747.73 points to 25,437.00, its worst day since June 5.

What to watch

The direction of gold and silver will remain the main influence on Coeur's shares. Investors will watch for further Fed commentary ahead of the December meeting and for the October jobs report on Friday, November 6, which could shift rate expectations.

Oil prices and inflation readings will also matter, since they feed into the Fed's outlook. The midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3, are another potential market mover. With no company-specific news behind Friday's decline, Coeur is likely to keep trading with the metals it mines.
