The gold price is continuing to decline, with some outlets reporting it has fallen to $4,000. The drop is attributed to various factors, including worries of Fed rate hikes, the unwinding of the 'debasement' trade, and investors seeking shelter in the dollar due to the Iran conflict and oil shock. Despite the current downturn, some outlets suggest that the decline may not be long-lasting, with one predicting the gold and silver rush may not be over.
