Amid a strengthening US dollar and reports suggesting that the United States has made detailed preparations for deploying ground forces in Iraq, concerns over rising oil prices, inflation, and subsequent interest rate increases have intensified, causing spot gold to fall below the 4500 USD/ounce level. Independent precious metals trader Tai Wong stated: "As market concerns heighten ahead of the weekend, gold and silver prices are being dragged down. Following this week's sharp pullback driven by interest rate hike fears, the movement of precious metals has become particularly volatile.
