Gold and silver slump post-Warsh; miners SSRM and GORO fall
Question
Gold and silver slump post-Warsh; miners SSRM and GORO fall
Direct answer
The miners’ drawdowns are consistent with typical gold sensitivity to higher real yields when the policy path shifts hawkish. With hikes still on the table and cuts unlikely in 2026 per coverage of Warsh’s tone, gold’s risk skew leans to the downside unless real rates retrace. GLD’s open and DXY trend will help confirm whether Friday’s commodity move extends. — bearish pressure on GLD.
