Gold slips 0.6% on Monday as spot price dips below $4,400

The modest pullback in gold, while silver barely moved and platinum/palladium ticked up, suggests the correction is metal-specific rather than a broad precious-metals selloff. This divergence could signal profit-taking in gold after its recent run, or a rotation within the complex. The fact that silver held steady near $66 may indicate that industrial demand or relative value is underpinning it, while gold's dip below $4,400 tests near-term support. Whether gold can reclaim that level quickly, or if this marks the start of a deeper consolidation, is the key watch point for momentum traders and those tracking safe-haven flows.
