Silver experienced quite a sell-off and it is probably related to the trade war between US and China. Trump puts 25% tariff on Chinese goods.
I think this trading is mainly caused by uncertainty and people not knowing what will happen, long-term trade wars are bad for both economies and global uncertainty can rise, so gold and silver are then often a good safeheaven to go to as they have been respected for thousands of years. We shouldn't forget that the global debt is skyrocketing, Italy has some problems too and this could all fuel interest in resources and primary needs. The sell-off to me look definitely like an over-reaction and might even be a good opportunity to add on dips upcomming months.
