Gold -4%, Silver -11%: Is De-Risking Hitting Safe Havens Too?

A sudden global risk-off wave hit markets as tech stocks tumbled and liquidity demand surged. Gold dropped as much as 4.1% intraday, silver plunged 11%, and LME copper fell 2.9% before modest rebounds. Traders reportedly sold metals to cover equity losses, while capital rotated into U.S. Treasuries. Even traditional safe havens were not spared as margin pressure forced asset liquidation. As MKS PAMP noted, this felt like fast, disorderly de-risking rather than a structural shift in fundamentals. Is this a temporary liquidity squeeze—or the start of a deeper cross-asset unwind?
