    Spot gold down 1.3%

    Spot gold was 1.3% down at $2,840.25 an ounce by 10:42 a.m. ET (1542 GMT). Bullion has so far lost 3.2% for the week, its steepest weekly fall since November.

    “I think the main element impacting the gold and silver markets is the profit-taking in week-long liquidation (and) the strong U.S. dollar index,” said Jim Wyckoff, a senior market analyst at Kitco Metals.

    Spot silver fell 0.9% to $30.97, platinum lost 1.1% to $938.50 and palladium slipped 1.5% to $906. All three metals’ prices looked set for monthly declines.

    Gold eyes milestone, bear case being planted

    “What we have seen is the change in the motive for safe-haven buying – from being driven by the Middle East uncertainty to the threat and realisation of tariffs,” said Philip Newman, managing director at consultancy Metals Focus.

    “Strikingly, gold was rallying as inflation eased, and it looked as though all of our understanding of how gold prices behaved was being challenged,” said independent analyst Ross Norman.

    Nicky Shiels, head of metals strategy at MKS PAMP SA, said that while prices could break out towards $3,200, resolution of physical gold dislocations attributed to tariffs and potential structural changes including reduced risk appetite, reduced participation and reduced liquidity are increasingly bearish.
