ProShares Ultra Silver (AGQ) plummeted 13.90% during intraday trading on Thursday, reflecting significant downward pressure on the leveraged exchange-traded fund.
The sharp decline tracked a retreat in underlying silver prices, with COMEX silver futures falling approximately 3% in recent trading sessions. As a leveraged instrument designed to deliver twice the daily return of silver bullion, AGQ's movement amplifies changes in the silver market.
The ETF's steeper decline compared to the underlying commodity's price drop is characteristic of its leveraged structure, which magnifies both gains and losses in response to silver price movements.
