Gold ended slightly lower at $3,345.10 an ounce (-0.18%) and silver fell to $38.26 (-1.88%), with Kitco attributing the drop to a rally in the U.S. dollar index. At the same time, several reports kept the focus on tariffs, central-bank buying, and mixed positioning signals as key drivers behind near-term swings.
