Multiple outlets report that gold prices fall sharply, dropping roughly 28% from their peak in March. The articles say gold is set for its worst quarterly performance in about 13 years, describing a reversal after a strong period earlier in the year. The coverage frames the move as a broad pullback in gold investment demand and market sentiment, though it does not present a single, specific cause in the provided excerpts. Instead, the stories focus on what investors are advised to consider in response to the decline. One outlet asks what to do if savings are held in gold and whether investors should buy more at lower prices, while noting the extent of the price decline and the magnitude of the anticipated quarterly downturn. Overall, the reporting emphasizes the scale and timing of the selloff—relative to the March peak—and the expectation that the quarter will be especially weak compared with recent history.
