[Analysis: This Round of Precious Metals Decline May Trigger a Deeper Adjustment] Odaily Planet Daily News - Silver Bullion founder Gregor Gregersen stated that the sudden drop in precious metals suggests that its nature may not be an orderly profit-taking. "If institutions were merely aiming to profit by liquidating large gold or silver positions, they would typically adopt a more gradual approach to secure higher transaction prices. What we are seeing is a sharp decline within a very short period, lacking any obvious triggering factors." He added that this has sparked market speculation that the trend may be "intended" to trigger further declines. (Jin10)
