What Happened to Gold in 2015?

The Federal Reserve raised rates in December 2015 for the first time in nine years, marking the official end of the ZIRP era. A strong dollar, resilient US economy, and low inflation created a challenging environment for gold. The Greek debt crisis provided a brief spike in July but gold struggled all year.
