Gold and silver fall in Kitco’s September 28 morning reportKitco NewsWire’s morning report put spot gold near $4,165 an ounce and silver near $61.29 as both metals fell. It linked the selling to higher yields, a firmer dollar and oil-driven inflation concerns amid unresolved U.S.–Iran diplomacy.

These are prices observed for the article, not live quotes or daily closes. The causal explanation is the publisher’s interpretation. Spot metal prices, Treasury yields and futures prices have distinct instruments and observation times.
