Spot gold plunged more than 3% in a single, heavy bearish candle, forcefully breaking below the key psychological level of USD 5,000. By the New York close, gold settled at USD 4,920, after touching an intraday low of USD 4,878\u2014down as much as 4.2% and marking its lowest level since 6 February.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">The core driver behind this \u201cfree fall\u201d was the unexpectedly strong resilience of the U.S.&nbsp;labour&nbsp;market, which completely undermined market optimism for near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts. As rate-cut expectations faded, the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets surged, placing intense pressure on gold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Silver fared even worse, suffering a single-day collapse of&nbsp;nearly 10%. Not only were the&nbsp;previous&nbsp;session\u2019s&nbsp;gains fully erased, but the move also triggered a broad withdrawal of safe-haven capital. Under the weight of tighter policy expectations, both gold and silver entered a synchronized correction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Market focus has now fully shifted to the upcoming U.S. CPI inflation data. This release will serve as a critical litmus test for the Fed\u2019s future policy path\u2014and will be decisive in&nbsp;determining&nbsp;whether gold can stabilize above USD 4,900 and&nbsp;attempt&nbsp;another push toward the USD 5,000 milestone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Asset Performance and Fundamental Analysis<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>1.
