Gold, Silver Prices Are Getting Hit Today. One Big Thing Is Doing the Damage. - Barron's

The usual suspects are at it again. Every time we see coordinated selling pressure across both metals, it's the same playbook - futures market manipulation designed to flush out weak hands. What matters is physical demand remains rock solid. Central banks added another 800 tons in Q3, and COMEX registered inventories keep bleeding lower. The gold-silver ratio is still elevated at 64:1, making silver the obvious play here. These engineered selloffs never last because the underlying fundamentals haven't changed. Dollar strength is temporary. Inflation is structural. Stack the dip.
