En solo 72 horas: Desplome del oro y la plata
Los precios del oro y la plata continuaron en bajada este lunes luego de que sufrieran un desplome histórico el pasado viernes. Según recoge CNBC, el metal amarillo experimentó una reducción adicional del 5 %, mientras que la plata cayó más del 12 %. Este cambio situó el precio de la onza de oro en 4.616,79 dólares y de la plata en 78,30 dólares.
TL;DR
- Gold and silver prices experienced a historic decline, with gold down 5% and silver down over 12% on Monday.
- The precious metals have lost over $10 trillion in market capitalization in just three days.
- The drop is linked to President Trump's announcement of Kevin Warsh as a candidate to lead the Federal Reserve.
- Warsh is seen as a tough inflation fighter, increasing expectations of a monetary policy that supports the dollar.
- Market analysts suggest this is a normal correction after an unusual rally, with profit-taking, a stronger dollar, and geopolitical news contributing to market instability.
- The strengthening dollar has made gold less attractive, shifting investor focus to U.S. Treasury bonds as a safe haven.
