Why It Matters

Silver prices have crashed over 50% from their peak in late January, with experts divided on whether the bull run is over. The crash is attributed to profit booking, geopolitical tensions, and a decline in industrial demand. While some experts predict further correction, others see the long-term bull case intact due to industrial demand from sectors like solar energy and electronics. Gold prices have also fallen but less sharply, supported by central bank accumulation. The direction of US interest rates and the US dollar will significantly influence future silver prices.
