Silver price crashed 14% in a single day to $66.93 per ounce on March 19, 2026, extending losses from the January all-time high of $116.61. The structural supply deficit and explosive solar demand remain intact, but the volatility is punishing overleveraged positions.
Gold price crashed 9% to $4,901 per ounce on March 16, 2026, after the Warsh Fed nomination triggered the largest single-day precious metals selloff in this cycle. With gold still up 67.4% year-over-year and $6,000+ analyst targets intact, the $5,000 level now decides everything.
Gold price slipped below $5,200 on March 11, pulling back 7-8% from its all-time high of $5,589.38. The correction is driven by fading Fed rate cut expectations, but the structural bull case built on central bank buying and geopolitical risk remains intact.
