Analysis indicates a sharp reversal in precious metals markets on Thursday, with gold and silver futures experiencing significant declines driven by deteriorating global sentiment and a strengthening US dollar. The downturn follows a brief recovery period, suggesting renewed investor caution toward safe-haven assets. Silver futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) plummeted by 10%, while gold futures also registered notable losses, erasing recent gains. This movement reflects broader macroeconomic pressures, including currency fluctuations and shifting risk appetites. The decline underscores the volatility inherent in commodity markets amid uncertain economic conditions. Intelligence suggests that continued dollar strength and weak global demand could sustain downward pressure on precious metals in the near term. Market participants are advised to monitor currency trends and geopolitical developments closely, as these factors are likely to influence future price trajectories. This report highlights the need for strategic positioning in volatile commodity environments.
