Gold Steady, Silver Dips After Record Highs Amid US Fed Probe & Trump's Attacks

• Gold prices steadied and silver declined on Tuesday after both metals hit fresh all-time highs on Monday.
• The surge was triggered by US President Donald Trump's administration's criminal probe into US Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
• Gold reached over $4,600 per ounce, and silver hit $86.22 per ounce on Monday.
• Trump's intervention and repeated attacks on the Fed have undermined its independence, sparking a 'sell America' trade and dollar decline.
• Citigroup Inc. upgraded its outlook, predicting gold at $5,000 and silver at $100 per ounce in the next three months due to geopolitical risks and Fed uncertainty.

Why It Matters: Gold and silver saw record highs driven by political instability and concerns over Fed independence.
