Gold, which dazzled investors for much of 2025, has finally stumbled. Spot gold slipped 0.8% to $3,970.39 (£3,102.65) per ounce, while US futures hovered just below $3,980 (£3,110.40).
The drop pushed the metal beneath the key $4,000 (£3,125)-per-ounce psychological level, a threshold traders have closely watched since its record surge in October.
