Global Markets Plunge: Stocks, Gold, Silver Crash Amid Geopolitical Fears, Tech Sell-off

• Global markets experienced a sharp decline across stocks, gold, silver, and crude oil in the year's final days.
• Precious metals saw significant drops: gold fell 4%, silver nearly 7%, palladium 16%, and platinum 14% in a single day.
• Wall Street's tech stocks, including Nvidia, Palantir, Meta, and Oracle, faced selling pressure due to AI bubble concerns.
• Asian markets, like Japan's Nikkei 225 and Taiwan Weighted Index, also declined, influenced by Wall Street and China's military activities.
• Oil prices (WTI, Brent) showed some recovery due to geopolitical tensions and China's growth support, despite overall market fear.

Why It Matters: Geopolitical tensions, tech sell-off, and profit-taking create an uncertain market outlook.
