Spot Gold Falls Below $4,150/oz; Silver Drops 2%

The move is notable less for the gold level itself than for silver's outsized 2% decline, which points to a broader precious-metals drawdown rather than a gold-specific story. Silver's higher beta means it typically amplifies shifts in the metals complex, so its underperformance here signals risk reduction across the space. Whether gold holds this threshold or silver's slide extends is the open question, since the two often move together but decouple when industrial demand expectations shift.
