Gold prices fell over 3% to below $4,920 per ounce due to a broad liquidation as investors sold precious metals to meet margin calls. This decline occurred despite a drop in the US 10-year Treasury yield, indicating liquidity demands rather than rate expectations. Silver and copper also saw significant drops. While markets anticipate moderating inflation and potential Federal Reserve rate cuts, current flows are influenced by deleveraging. However, easing yields and ongoing central bank purchases may support gold prices once liquidation pressures ease.
