Stock Track01-01 01:44
The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) saw a sharp intraday decline of 6.25% on Wednesday, mirroring a broader sell-off in silver-related assets. The drop followed CME Group's decision to increase margin requirements for silver trading, which dampened speculative activity and triggered profit-taking.
Spot silver prices also retreated, adding pressure to the ETF. This marks a reversal from silver's historic rally in 2025, where the metal surged 160% before recent volatility. Analysts note the margin hike echoes a similar 2021 event that led to a silver market correction.
