Gold and silver just took a sharp hit right before the US market opened, catching traders off guard.
In the last three hours alone, gold has dropped around 2 percent, erasing roughly 680 billion dollars in market value. Silver followed closely, sliding 2.5 percent and wiping out about 110 billion dollars.
This kind of fast move right before the open usually signals rising pressure in the market. Whether it’s profit-taking, stronger dollar momentum, or shifting expectations, something is clearly pushing investors to step back from precious metals.
All eyes now on how the US session reacts. If selling continues, this could turn into a deeper pullback. If not, this might just be a quick shakeout before the next move.
