TL;DR: Gold's fall from 4,697.07 to around 4,423 looks more like a correction than a reversal — Warsh repriced rate timing and trimmed some fiscal-credibility premium, but the longer-run Fed path and US fiscal arithmetic are unchanged, leaving the 4,320-4,338 support cluster as the level that would need to break to challenge that base case.
