Gold and silver prices faced a sharp fall, surprising traders who expected stability. A stronger dollar, rising bond yields, and cautious market mood pushed investors to move funds away from safe assets. Gold slipped as confidence shifted toward cash and short-term returns, while silver dropped faster due to weaker industrial demand signals. Profit booking after recent highs added extra pressure. Even though the fall looked sudden, many see it as a pause, not a collapse. Long-term interest in precious metals remains alive, but the market is clearly taking a breath before the next move.
