Gold fell even as some analysts suggested the Fed might pause rate hikes. The decline follows a firmer U.S. dollar and Treasury yields that edged higher, making the non‑yielding metal less attractive.

Bloomberg and Kitco described the same move, tying the drop to rising yields, while Reuters noted investors were weighing the Fed’s future policy. Bloomberg added that energy‑driven inflation could keep pressure on the rate outlook, leaving gold’s trajectory uncertain.

The same report said higher yields may blunt any rally. Kitco observed silver held modest gains, suggesting divergent trends within precious metals as investors balance inflation concerns with currency strength.
