Market volatility impacts Gold prices
"Gold and silver collapsed by 9% and 26% respectively last Friday. Silver in particular was down nearly 40% from its recent high to its intraday low last Friday, marking one of the most extreme single-day moves in years."
"The speed and scale of the sell-off reflected forced liquidations and momentum unwinding. The pattern had the hallmarks of rapid de-risking by systematic and model-driven traders i.e. market participants using rules-based algorithms that can accelerate moves once key technical or risk thresholds are triggered, amplifying moves on the way up and down."
