Silver Market Rocked: Historic Crash Amid China Shocks, Strong Dollar, and Low Liquidity

• Silver experienced a historic crash, falling up to 17% in Asian trading due to renewed selling pressure from China.
• The decline is not a one-day fluctuation; silver has fallen over a third from its recent all-time high, unwinding a speculative rally.
• A strengthening dollar led investors to cut bullish positions, adding significant pressure to the commodity market.
• Gold and base metals like copper also faced pressure, with gold recording its biggest drop since 2013 and copper slipping below $13,000 per ton.
• The silver market's smaller size, coupled with heavy speculation and low liquidity, amplified price volatility and created a feedback loop of selling.
