惊魂！贵金属“跳水”！国际金银大幅收跌，白银暴跌刷新46年历史纪录，单日振幅12%，无数投资者一夜爆仓！背后原因曝光

Group 1 - The core event was a dramatic plunge in silver prices on December 29, with a single-day volatility of 12.3%, marking the most severe fluctuation in 46 years [1][3] - Silver prices reached a peak of $83.971 per ounce before plummeting to a low of $74.215 per ounce within a short time, resulting in a maximum intraday drop exceeding 11% [1][3] - The Shanghai Gold Exchange also experienced significant declines, with silver T+D prices dropping to a low of 18,797 yuan per kilogram, reflecting a 7.89% decrease [1][3] Group 2 - The initial surge in silver prices was driven by market enthusiasm and speculation, with a notable increase of over 150% throughout the year, significantly outpacing gold's 70% rise [6][7] - The market reversal was triggered by the early leak of the Federal Reserve's December meeting minutes, indicating a slowdown in interest rate cuts, which led to a rapid sell-off in silver [6][8] - The outflow from global silver ETFs exceeded 180 tons in a single week, marking the largest withdrawal in 2023, as investors fled the precious metals market [6] Group 3 - Industrial demand for silver has weakened, particularly in the photovoltaic sector, where December procurement dropped by 15%, and in the automotive sector, where silver usage per vehicle decreased by 8% [7] - The previously touted "supply shortage" narrative has not materialized, as increased recycling has offset production declines from major silver-producing countries [7] - The speculative bubble in silver trading led to a significant misalignment between market prices and actual value, resulting in heightened risks for investors [8] Group 4 - The impact of the silver crash varied among different investor groups, with leveraged speculators suffering the most severe losses due to forced liquidations [10][11] - Long-term holders of physical silver may experience temporary losses but are less affected due to the absence of leverage and the ongoing industrial demand for silver [10] - The event serves as a cautionary tale for all investors, emphasizing the importance of understanding market fundamentals and avoiding high-leverage speculation [13]
