SLV is trading at $52.14 (-3.35%) as U.S.-Iran escalation lifts risk aversion and pushes investors out of precious-metals momentum trades.

  • The move aligns with a broader risk-off sentiment across the market, characterized by a declining NASDAQ and weakness in semiconductor stocks.
  • Silver futures opened lower on Monday, reversing recent gains as traders rotate out of momentum-heavy positions.
  • Increased geopolitical tensions have triggered a shift in investor sentiment, leading to a sell-off in silver-linked ETFs.
