Gold Jumps 2.0% to $4,351.65/oz; Silver Up 2.5%, Oil Slides
The split between precious metals and crude points to a rotation rather than a uniform risk move: gold and silver are catching a haven bid while oil is being sold, which is not the usual pairing in a straightforward growth scare. That divergence is the signal worth noting, since it suggests the driver is specific to energy rather than broad demand pessimism. Whether metals hold their gains once the energy move stabilizes is the open question.
