On June 23, iShares Silver ETF (SLV) fell 5.01% in pre-market trading, trading at $56.06/share, with turnover of $5.03 million.
On the news front, the decline was directly driven by a sharp drop in spot silver prices, which plunged approximately 4% and broke below the key $63/oz level. Spot gold also fell over 1%, putting the entire precious metals sector under broad pressure. Global financial markets saw a significant rise in risk-off sentiment, with Asian and European/US equity markets declining broadly and technology stocks experiencing notable selling as capital fled risk assets. Market participants were also monitoring uncertainties surrounding US-Iran peace negotiations and awaiting key US economic data releases to assess the inflation outlook.
Sector linkage effects were pronounced. Among Hong Kong-listed precious metals stocks, Jiangxi Copper fell over 10%, Zijin Gold International dropped over 7%, and Zijin Mining declined 6%. Among US-listed peers, First Majestic Silver fell 3% and Newmont Mining lost 2%.
