The Early Morning Reid Macro Strategy report from Deutsche Bank reveals that Silver experienced its largest daily fall since 1980, dropping 26.36%. The report discusses the implications of this volatility, linking it to the recent nomination of Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair, which has heightened hawkish sentiment. The report also notes that Silver's price has not kept pace with inflation over the long term.
