WS #14969
Precious metals have crashed to 7-week lows, with silver falling significantly in Asian trading. This reversal is driven by a shift in market dynamics where the immediate fear of supply disruption is outweighed by the risk of central bank rate hikes in response to energy-driven inflation. The sell-off suggests that investors are moving away from traditional safe havens in favor of cash or yield-bearing assets.
