CME Hikes Margin as Silver Crashes: Is the Selloff Over?
Silver tumbled over 16%, erasing the past two days’ rebound, before bouncing from around $65. Gold fell less, down up to 3.5%. The key catalyst: CME margin hikes—gold margins raised to 9%, silver to 18%, effective after Feb 6 close. Higher margins force deleveraging, often extending volatility short term, especially for silver’s thinner liquidity. Gold’s smaller drawdown suggests relative resilience as leveraged positions unwind elsewhere.
Will margin-driven selling push silver lower before stabilizing?
Is silver still a 2026 bull story or a high-volatility trade only?
