Precious metals sold off hard Thursday, led by silver, after recent reports turned more cautious on gold’s trend and flagged possible supply and risk-sentiment headwinds. Coverage pointed to a bearish technical setup below a key level, official-sector selling out of Turkey, and shifting geopolitics around U.S.-Iran talks.

What to watch

  • UpcomingU.S.-Iran peace talks outlookBloomberg said investors were weighing the outlook for the talks, which can sway safe-haven demand for gold depending on perceived risk levels.

Metal by metal

Gold $4,456.45 −2.37%

Action Forex said the bearish trend resumed below $4,620, and Investing.com said gold was testing resistance with inflation, rates and liquidity driving flows. Kitco also reported Turkey sold 58.4 tonnes of gold from reserves in two weeks, and Bloomberg flagged U.S.-Iran peace-talks uncertainty as part of the backdrop.

Gold headlines

Silver $67.29 −8.04%

Kitco had said gold and silver were holding gains even with improved risk appetite, but today’s sharp drop shows how sensitive silver can be to swings in broader sentiment. There was limited silver-specific fundamental detail beyond the shared risk and macro framing.

Silver headlines

Platinum $1,869.00 −4.15%

Coverage was thin. Investing.com mentioned platinum alongside gold and silver as benefiting when the dollar softened and oil fell after a U.S. proposal to Iran.

Palladium $1,372.00 −4.32%

No report focused on palladium.
