Market participants remain attentive to evolving currency movements and shifts in global yield expectations. The broad decline underscores a recalibration of speculative interest, with traders reassessing inflation-linked hedging and potential adjustments to physical market supply conditions.
Key Drivers:
• Softening expectations for industrial use continue to influence short-term price patterns.
• Strength in the U.S. dollar and risk-off sentiment have amplified downside momentum across metals.
