白银牛市狂热遭遇“关税冷却”! 投机势力掀起抛售潮 银价一度暴跌超7%

Group 1 - Silver prices experienced a significant drop of over 4% to around $87.2 after reaching a historical high of $93.7, primarily due to President Trump's announcement to delay tariffs on key mineral imports, which cooled market enthusiasm for silver [1][3] - The recent surge in silver prices, which increased by over 20% in just four trading days, was followed by a sharp correction, attributed to profit-taking by speculative investors and significant selling pressure from the Bloomberg Commodity Index rebalancing [1][4] - Gold prices also saw a decline, but the drop was less than 0.5%, indicating a stronger resilience compared to silver, which is heavily influenced by speculative trading [1][8] Group 2 - The geopolitical tensions, particularly in Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran, have been driving factors behind the recent strong performance of gold and silver, as investors seek safe-haven assets amid fears of escalating conflicts [2][4] - Trump's administration's approach to tariffs, which includes setting price floors rather than percentage-based taxes, has alleviated fears of broad policy impacts, contributing to the recent volatility in precious metals [3][7] - The recent tightening of margin requirements by the CME, shifting from fixed dollar amounts to percentage-based calculations, has increased the cost of high-leverage speculation, leading some investors to reduce their positions in silver [8]
