Gold down 5%
Silver down 7%
CRML down 15%
USAR down 13%

I did read that CRML filed to sell 80 Million Shares.

I think the $1billion deal with Australia alleviated a lot of pressure that there will be a scarcity rare-earth minerals. Plus it's about a 100% certainty that with the price runup these companies will be issuing secondary offerings that will have a dilutive affect on earnings.

Yes. This is the reason. Everyone sold all their gold. All of the gold has been sold. Poetry. Or, just those who trade it for gains. 5% down.

Sort of. MANY people bought gold just like MANY people have bought NVDA. Gold, however, is vulnerable to fluctuations of the USD (or perceived or anticipated fluctuations). Since at least 2022, gold's pattern has been to increase for a bit, pull back slightly, hover for a few months, then start moving up again (all based on lots of changing inputs).

Trump was making noise about possibly not getting into a trade war with China and there is an expectation of a rate cut in at least December. The USD value creeped up since Friday, likely on all that and similar news, so a lot of the drop was simply the tradeoff from the USD's value rising and traders taking profits due to anticipating.

What this all means is that if it continues following the pattern we should see it hover around $4k for a few months then climb again. The longer the shutdown and the tariff war with China goes, the shorter that pause should be before it begins climbing again (especially without having government economic data being released during the shutdown).

I think it’s government shut down related too and I also think gold is a bit overbought and I own it…

It is a historically very stable price that has been a meme stock the last few months. And retail was lining up in the streets to acquire.

The price dip today will make retail sell from FOMO. In a couple of weeks it will be off to the races.
