Gold breaks $4,000 as dollar rally pressures metals

Spot gold and silver are under heavy pressure in early U.S. trading as a stronger U.S. dollar, renewed Fed rate repricing, and easing oil-supply fears weigh on haven demand. The move reflects weaker risk-off positioning for precious metals rather than a new fundamental catalyst. Price action is negative for metals, but the broader market impact is likely limited unless dollar strength or rate repricing extends further.
