00:00October 21, 2025. Are gold and silver still the safest investments in uncertain times?
00:07That question shook global markets this week as both metals suffered their biggest one-day crash
00:13in more than a decade. After months of record-breaking highs, the unstoppable rally in
00:18price metals came to a sudden halt. Gold prices plunged at nearly 6%, while silver dropped over
00:258%, shocking investors and triggering panic selling across global exchanges. Analysts say
00:32the crash was fueled by a stronger U.S. dollar, rising treasury yields, and heavy profit-taking
00:37after weeks of relentless gains. As geopolitical tensions eased and inflation fears slightly cooled,
00:44many traders decided it was time to cash out. For weeks, gold had been climbing to all-time highs,
00:50driven by central bank demand and global economic uncertainty. But on October 21,
00:56the market turned sharply downward, marking its steepest decline since 2013.
01:02Despite the fall, experts believe this could be a short-term correction rather than the end of the
01:07bull market. Gold remains up significantly for 2025, supported by ongoing inflation concerns and
01:14investor demand for long-term stability. Silver, too, continues to hold above key technical support
01:20levels, showing resilience despite volatility. Analysts predict that after this correction, both metals may
01:27stabilize and potentially resume their upward trend. For investors, the message is clear. Even safe-haven
01:35assets can experience turbulence when global sentiment shifts.
