(All else being equal)

As opportunity cost of holding Gold rises, money will move away from it at the margins. That is, some people/institutions will move some part of their money into risk-free fixed interest instruments.

Remember also that rate rises are telegraphed to the market weeks, if not months ahead, so the impact on POG of rate changes will be witnessed in the lead-up to the actual announcement.

This is my experience and understanding.

History tells us all that's incorrect. Gold has always risen in a rising interest rate environment but if you read books written by banksters then it will tell you something different.
