Silver's Slide and Polymarket Implications
The $SI drop today to 19.34, even touching 18.65 intraday, is a pretty clear signal of continued hawkish sentiment bleeding through. Hard to see the Fed pivoting anytime soon when safe havens are getting whacked like this. I'm keeping an eye on the Polymarket contracts for future rate hikes; seems like the probability of another 50-75bp jump is probably underrated at this point, given the market's current read on inflation and the dollar strength.
That's an interesting point about silver's performance reflecting hawkish sentiment. Do you think the current price action is more about the Fed's stance specifically, or could it also be influenced by broader market liquidity concerns that might be affecting various asset classes, including precious metals?
