## Executive Summary
Gold and silver prices are falling as a stronger US dollar and expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes trigger a selloff.

## Intelligence Brief
Gold prices have dropped nearly 2%, testing levels below $4,100, while silver has fallen below $62. This decline is attributed to a strengthening dollar reaching a one-year high and increasing bets that the Federal Reserve will tighten rates.


Coverage from Reuters, Bloomberg, CNBC, and Investing.com emphasizes the impact of rate-hike fears and dollar pressure. Bloomberg specifically notes that a tech-led selloff has spurred liquidation, while Yahoo Finance reports that Hansen describes silver as facing 'double pressure' compared to gold.


Future movements may be influenced by ongoing US-Iran peace talks. According to Bloomberg and Reuters, early progress in these negotiations has previously helped steady gold and pull oil prices lower.
