Gold prices falling is usually an indicator of market stability rather than volatility. I suspect the new fed chair pick is the cause for the selloff. Although he seems more like a business-as-usual sort of guy rather than a Trump crony so I don't know why anybody thinks he will do anything differently compared to Powell.
