Gold and silver slip as “healthy correction” talk builds into Fed week

Gold closed at $4,104.40 an ounce (-0.95%), while silver fell harder to $48.01 (-2.24%), as several outlets described a pullback after a long run up. Reuters tied the day’s price action to cooler U.S. inflation data that lifted rate-cut expectations, even as gold was still set to snap a long weekly winning streak.
