Gold falls below $4,000 as stock rout drains haven demand

Financial Times+1 ·
  • Gold fell below $4,000 this week as a cross-market stock rout pushed investors to sell the precious metal.
  • Gold held near its lowest close in more than three months, with Bloomberg attributing volatility to AI jitters.
  • Investors rushed into US Treasuries while gold plunged, so gold did not act as a safe haven in this sell-off.
