Gold Falls 0.37% to $4,271.49/oz in New York Late Trade; Silver Drops 1%

The divergence is the signal: silver's drop is roughly triple gold's on a percentage basis, and miners fell harder than either metal, with the Philadelphia and NYSE Arca indices both down well over 1.5%. That pattern points to risk reduction across the precious-metals complex rather than a gold-specific move, and copper's modest gain suggests the pressure is concentrated in metals with a monetary or safe-haven bid. Whether miners keep underperforming the underlying metals is the open question.
