Gold isn't breaking down. The easy macro bid is.
For months, gold traded like the market had already won the rate-cut argument. Now it's repricing a stronger dollar, firmer real yields, and a Fed that may stay tighter for longer.
That doesn't kill the gold thesis. It kills the part of the trade that depended on cheaper money arriving on schedule.
Gold can still hedge sovereign stress, fiscal disorder, and record central bank buying.
What it doesn't do well is outperform cash when real yields are rising.
The hedge is intact. The free ride isn't.
