#PreciousMetalsTurbulence

💰 Gold and silver experienced their most significant decline in years during trading on January 30.

After a series of record highs, precious metals prices plummeted.

Gold prices fell more than 10%, falling below $4 900 per ounce. This was the largest daily decline since the early 1980s.

🪙Silver plunged more than 30%.

🪙Platinum fell 27%.

🪙Palladium fell more than 21%.

In a day and a half, the precious metals market "lost" more than $7 trillion.

The main catalyst for the decline was news that US President Donald Trump was nominating Kevin Warsh to head the Federal Reserve.

This triggered a rise in the dollar, making precious metals more expensive for international buyers.
