2.43 Trillion Wiped from Gold’s Market Cap in Just 48 Hours!
That’s a staggering amount — to put it into perspective, Bitcoin’s market cap sits around $1.3T–$1.4T, meaning gold just lost roughly 110% of Bitcoin’s entire value in two days.
Here’s what’s happening
Biggest Drop in 12 Years: Gold tumbled over 8% after touching record highs above $4,380, marking its sharpest one-day fall in over a decade.
Why It Happened: The drop came as traders took profits, the U.S. dollar strengthened, and risk appetite returned with easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
Market Impact: The sell-off caused heavy volatility — gold mining stocks and silver also took big hits.
This correction reminds investors that even “safe-haven” assets can face extreme turbulence when global sentiment shifts. 🌍
