一纸提名引爆史诗级抛售：现货白银一度跌36% 金价失守5000美元大关

Group 1 - The recent sharp decline in precious metal prices was triggered by the announcement of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chairman, which alleviated market concerns about the Fed's independence and strengthened the dollar, negatively impacting gold and silver prices [3][5] - Silver prices dropped over 36%, reaching a low of $74.31 per ounce before recovering to around $85.8, while gold fell more than 12% to a low of $4683.04 per ounce, later stabilizing at approximately $4906 [1][4] - Analysts suggest that the market's reaction reflects a shift in sentiment towards a more hawkish stance under Warsh, which challenges the previous "currency devaluation trade" logic that had supported precious metal prices [3][5] Group 2 - The appreciation of the dollar increases the cost for non-US investors to purchase gold and silver, further contributing to the price decline [5] - The recent volatility in precious metals is partly attributed to forced selling due to high leverage among day traders and short-term investors, particularly in silver [5] - Geopolitical tensions, such as US military actions and speculation about the next Fed Chair, have previously supported precious metal prices, but recent developments have led to a reassessment of concentrated risks in the market [5][6]
