Silver sank 4.8% to $69.39 an ounce by 2:14 p.m. ET on Friday, tracking toward a weekly loss as both the dollar and Treasury yields strengthened after Reuters said Washington was sending more troops to the Middle East. Gold dropped 1.8%, platinum declined 0.9%, and palladium slipped 1.6%. Independent metals trader Tai Wong described gold and silver as getting pulled down while markets navigated their “usual wall of worry,” cautioning that “a bumpy ride” could lie ahead.

Gold took a sharp dive Tuesday, losing 5.6% to $5,029.59 an ounce, while silver dropped even harder—down 11.2% to $79.42. The selloff followed a stronger dollar and rising bond yields, despite the persistent tensions from the Iran conflict. Platinum and palladium didn’t escape the pressure either, both finishing lower. “The move lower in gold appears to be driven by a flight to liquidity,” said Bob Haberkorn, senior market strategist at RJO Futures.

Gold, meanwhile, stayed steady. “It’s a risk-off in a flight to safety,” said Phillip Streible, chief market strategist at Blue Line Futures.

MARKET CALENDAR

Key Events Today

The catalysts most likely to move markets.

#1

U.S. index futures reopen at 18:00 ET

This is the clearest scheduled U.S.-market price-discovery point today and can transmit weekend news into equity-index futures before Monday's cash session.

#2

New Zealand retail sales at 18:45 ET

The Q2 retail package can move NZD and regional risk sentiment. Spillover to U.S. assets is usually secondary unless the result is unusually large.

#3

No scheduled domestic U.S. data or corporate reports

The absence of U.S. releases, earnings, IPO pricings and split events leaves fewer scheduled catalysts, increasing the relative importance of weekend headlines and positioning at the futures reopen.
