Macro backdrop: dovish Fed supports metals more than crypto

The Fed’s cut and new $40B/month T-bill purchases have driven gold near $4,275/oz and silver to record territory, according to Investing.com and TradingEconomics. Lower real yields and a weaker dollar are clearly benefiting precious and industrial metals, while Reuters and CoinDesk emphasize that crypto remains under pressure as investors favor traditional safe havens and equities.
