Comex Gold Ends the Week 1.72% Lower at $4492.00

Gold's 1.72% weekly drop is noise against the bigger picture. Friday's 2.7% bounce shows the underlying bid remains strong. What matters more is the continued stress in COMEX registered inventory and persistent central bank accumulation. Silver's weekly gain while gold declined is classic ratio compression behavior - we're seeing the white metal catch up to gold's earlier moves. These weekly fluctuations are entry opportunities for stackers, not reasons to panic. The physical market fundamentals haven't changed. Central banks added another 60 tons in recent data, and retail demand remains elevated. Stack the dips.
