Gold prices broke below the significant psychological support level of $4,200 per ounce. FXStreet reported that downside pressure on the yellow metal is increasing due to continued hawkish rhetoric from Federal Reserve officials, extending the recent price decline.

The drop is driven by expectations of sustained high interest rates and a strong US dollar, coupled with the 10-year Treasury yield reaching 5.22%. Breaking the $4,200 threshold signals technical weakness following a period of significant gains, as markets react to the monetary policy stance under Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.
