Gold and Silver Retreat as Market Sentiment Turns Cautious

Precious metals took a sharp downturn on the trading floor as investors reassessed risk appetite. Gold closed 1.4% lower, marking its second decline in three sessions. Silver followed suit, plunging 2.5% and recording losses in three of the past four sessions. Analysts point to a stronger U.S. dollar and rising Treasury yields as key pressures weighing on the metals complex. Market participants are now eyeing upcoming inflation data and central bank signals for direction.
