Lower gold prices mean that market participants need a huge amount of cash.
There is a recession, wars, an AI boom, mass layoffs and layoffs. A huge amount of cash is required to fulfill the obligations of the system. They are trying to keep the system from collapsing, especially the stock market, because its collapse = a chain reaction. They sell things that can be sold quickly: stocks, bonds, gold, and cryptocurrencies. Gold is one of the most liquid assets. Therefore, it falls in a crisis, although logically it should grow.

And, most likely, she will do it soon.
