From the WSJ:
Investors are placing a record number of bets that a protracted slump in gold prices will continue as the metal is punished by a strengthening U.S. dollar and rising interest rates.

I’m pretty firmly in the camp that the prestigious MSM outlets are the vehicles through which the oligarchy guides the sheeple to the desired viewpoint, not simply a source of good informaion or anlysis.
The goal is to get the herd moving the way that they want them to go. What do our handlers want?
