NIGHTLY INTELLIGENCE BRIEF

〔Day Digest〕Gold and Silver Plunge on Fed Rate-Hike Bets and Inflation Fears as Gold’s $3,760-$3,700 Downside Target Meets Improving Fundamentals

Gold and silver plunged as Federal Reserve rate-hike bets and inflation fears weighed on precious metals. Strong Friday technical selling pressure lowered gold even as its fundamentals improved, while a cyclical supply-demand zone below the current price pointed toward $3,760-$3,700. Yet BofA reported a turn in gold fund flows, reopening the question of whether the long-term allocation case is changing. The packet does not quantify the price plunge, provide a silver-specific figure, or specify the size and timing of the flow reversal.
