Gold Falls Over 1.3% to Near $4,000 Mark; Silver Drops 2.53%

The scale of the move matters more than the level: silver's decline outpaced gold's, and the miner indices sold off harder still, which points to a broad de-risking across the precious-metals complex rather than a single-instrument event. Equity-linked miners amplifying the spot move is the tell that positioning, not just the metal, is being repriced. Whether the $4,000 area holds as a psychological floor, and whether silver's larger drawdown keeps leading gold to the downside, are the open questions worth tracking.
