Gold falls below $4,000 as dollar strength weighs on bullion
AI Market Summary
Gold broke below the key $4,000/oz level for the first time in seven months as a strong US dollar and rising expectations for multiple Fed rate hikes increased real-rate headwinds for non-yielding metals. Spillover weakness hit silver and platinum, while palladium remained near multi-month lows. Focus shifts to upcoming US PCE inflation data for confirmation of the policy path and potential ETF flow pressure.
