黄金急跌近2%，失守4060美元/盎司

Core Viewpoint - The rapid decline in gold and silver prices is attributed to multiple factors including policy expectations, technical breakdowns, a stronger dollar, and reduced geopolitical risks. Citigroup has turned bearish on gold prices, predicting a drop to $4,000 within the next three months. However, medium to long-term support for gold remains due to global recession risks and central bank gold purchases, which are expected to exceed 1,000 tons by 2025. Investors should closely monitor the October CPI data and the Federal Reserve's meeting statements to gauge market direction changes [3]. Price Movements - As of October 24, gold prices fell below $4,060 per ounce, with a daily decline of over 1.85%. Silver prices also dropped, touching $47 per ounce, down more than 2% [1]. - Current prices include: - London Gold: $4,050.228, down $76.262 (-1.85%) - London Silver: $47.850, down $0.996 (-2.04%) - COMEX Gold: $4,071.3, down $74.3 (-1.79%) - COMEX Silver: $47.615, down $1.089 (-2.24%) [2]. Market Reactions - U.S. gold stocks fell in pre-market trading, with notable declines including a drop of over 4% for Coeur Mining and declines exceeding 2% for both Kinross Gold and Harmony Gold [2].
