Gold and silver just gave investors a brutal reminder: safe havens can still whipsaw.

After blistering rallies into early 2026, both metals have plunged as a stronger U.S. dollar, ETF unwinds and crowded positioning collide.

Silver’s extreme swings  highlight how fragile liquidity can be when sentiment turns.

Gold has fared better, but even it is facing its sharpest pullback in years as rate expectations reset.

So is this a temporary correction - or the end of the precious-metals bull case? Should we still all be lining to buy gold?

We break it all down, hosted by Michelle Martin who speaks with Nirgunan Tiruchelvam, Head of Consumer and Internet at Alethea Capital.
