What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Silver prices have dropped more than 50% from a record intraday high of $121.79 an ounce in January, settling at $57.31 an ounce. This decline occurs as warnings from energy markets link silver's price action to production disruptions stemming from conflict in the Middle East. Gold has also dropped, losing over 25% from its January high of $5,626.80 an ounce.
