Precious metals are experiencing a sharp sell-off, with Gold down 1.75% to $4,104 and Silver plummeting 4.46% to $56.87. This counter-intuitive decline, despite geopolitical escalation, suggests that liquidity concerns and a strengthening US dollar are outweighing traditional safe-haven flows. The drop in silver, often a proxy for industrial demand, also reflects bearish sentiment on global manufacturing and energy costs, adding to the macro uncertainty.
