GLD and SLV pre mid night crash was a classic syndicated move to squeeze out margin players on the wrong side of the position. That said, it was also a classic failure for those trying to bring the prices down as the market knows that the real demand for physical Gold and Silver out-strips the supply. Whats gonna stop the bull run on precious metal? In my opinion, slower global growth or global recession. So meanwhile as we see multiple all time highs being breached, its just means market still wants it. Don't fight the market. Go with the flow.
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?
