Gold

Key insight

$4,459 prints below the $4,500 round-number support — a daily close here opens $4,380 (prior consolidation pivot). Silver -4.2% and BTC -3.2% confirm broad precious-metals/risk liquidation, not a gold-specific move.

Drop of 3.1% to $4,459 breaks the $4,500 round-number floor — sharpest single-day reversal since the rally through $4,000; USD strength and risk-off crypto selling compound pressure.

Main risk

USD Snap-Back / Real Yield Surge

EUR/USD -0.6% to 1.1586 signals a sharp dollar bid; rising real yields compress gold's non-yielding appeal fast.
