Gold and dollar
Gold slumped below $4,200, and silver plunged as much as 5%, as inflation fears and a stronger dollar overpowered progress in US-Iran peace talks. Bloomberg and WSJ both cite the dollar and macro headwinds as the drivers, with UUP +0.2% last session. Gold's 2,560% one-year surge makes this pullback look more like profit-taking than a regime change — but a break below $4,000 could trigger CTAs to unwind crowded longs.
Buy US Dollar — The dollar is explicitly cited as the headwind for gold; UUP is at its 52-week high, and both sources expect the macro to keep it supported.
Sell Gold — Two sources flag dollar strength and inflation risks driving the selloff; GLD off 3% this week and 25% below its 52-week high, so momentum is clearly down.
Sell Silver — Silver is more volatile and fell 5%, with both articles noting its plunge alongside gold; SLV is 46% below its 52-week high, so the downtrend is intact.
