Precious Metals Extend Declines Amid Stronger Dollar and Rate-Hike Bets

Gold and silver prices fell sharply over the week ending June 29, 2026, with gold testing below $4,000 and silver dropping below $60 amid a stronger U.S. dollar and rising expectations for Federal Reserve rate increases. The selloff, which accelerated early in the week on hawkish policy signals, erased further gains from 2026 highs and prompted analysts to lower forecasts. Platinum and palladium also traded near multi-month lows. Central bank buying provided some underlying support but was insufficient to offset macro headwinds.
