Gold holds near $4,000 as chip-led equity selloff boosts safe-haven bid
AI Market Summary
Gold steadied near $4,000 after Thursday's break, supported by short covering, while firm Treasury yields and a stronger U.S. dollar kept the backdrop defensive. Elevated oil prices and a chip-driven equity selloff reinforced a risk-aware tone, helping sustain demand for safe-haven assets. Silver also rebounded from a multi-month low but remains technically constrained below key retracement levels, limiting follow-through.

Spot gold and silver traded higher in late U.S. dealings on Friday, supported by short-covering that helped the metals stabilize after Thursday's sharp drop. The backdrop stayed cautious as Treasury yields remained firm, the U.S. dollar strengthened and oil prices stayed elevated.
At the time of writing, spot gold was around $4,015.06 an ounce, up 0.97% on the day. Spot silver rose 0.68% to about $55.897.
Gold moved in a $3,959.800 to $4,023.83 range, briefly slipping below the psychologically important $4,000 level while holding well above Thursday's low. Silver fell to its weakest level since Nov. 28 before rebounding, though it remains within a major retracement zone and below the $57.00 area seen as a trigger for more sustained short-covering.
