In less than 36 hours, gold dropped from $5600 to $4700, silver fell from $121 to $77, and platinum and palladium were not spared. In less than two days, approximately $7 trillion in global precious metals evaporated.

In this state, any news is just a trigger.
When the bubble is big enough, it will definitely burst, and it has no essential relationship with who said what.
