Gold Drops Over 1% Below $3,650 Amid Powell’s Remarks

Gold falls below $3,850 per ounce, with silver also retreating as investor sentiment shifts in response to broader market trends.

Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by a credible Reuters article from May 7, 2025 (Evidence 1 & 8), which explicitly states that 'Gold drops over 1% on Powell's cautious views.' While this specific article does not mention the price, other provided evidence from 2025 (e.g., Evidence 2 & 3 showing gold between $3,337 and $3,373 in August) makes it highly probable that the price was below $3,650 at the time of the drop in May.
