Trump's statements boost inflation expectations, precious metals experience major liquidity-driven corrections

Trump’s remarks propelled international oil prices to spike during trading, with the market pricing in the risk of a second round of inflation and expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts cooling. US Treasury yields and the US dollar strengthened, while gold and silver bulls faced heavy selling. Technology and semiconductor stocks corrected, and cross-asset funds faced margin pressure, prioritizing the closing of gold and silver positions. Samsung Electronics and NVIDIA came under pressure, and KORU plunged sharply intraday. Precious metals broke key technical levels, triggering quantitative funds and trend-following strategies to sell, intensifying short-term volatility.
