Gold ends down 2.30% at $4,074.85 as hot PPI and rate fears keep pressure on
Gold finished lower at $4,074.85 an ounce and silver slipped to $63.80 as several reports tied the day’s price action to sticky inflation data and worries that interest rates could stay higher for longer. Some headlines still pointed to support from geopolitical tension and central-bank buying, but the dominant theme was pressure on metals from yields and rate expectations.

Every point cites the reports it came from. On Fridays it writes a recap of the week.
