Gold slides to $4,466.25 as higher-rate talk and forced selling keep pressure on

Gold fell again Monday, closing at $4,466.25/oz (-2.11%), as several reports pointed to expectations of higher interest rates and liquidity-driven selling. Silver and platinum dropped sharply with broader deleveraging themes in the gold market, while palladium was the lone gainer on a demand story tied to China.

The case for lower prices

Metal by metal

Gold $4,466.25 −2.11%

Reuters said higher interest-rate expectations continued to weigh on gold. Kitco, citing the World Gold Council, described the selloff as liquidity-driven and similar to stress periods like 2008/2020; Kitco also cited Natixis arguing the move points to real central bank selling rather than rumor.

Gold headlines

Platinum $1,893.00 −4.30%
