Speculators, who have been pulling back from the long gold trade in recent weeks, “could see the developments in the Middle East as an opportunity to get back in,” the brokerage added.“A regional spillover or disruption to energy supplies would materially boost gold through higher oil prices, increased inflation expectations and contained real yields,” ING analysts said in a note according to investing.com.UK-based SP Angel told Reuters on Monday that the growing geopolitical fragmentation has led BRIC central banks to trim their holdings of dollar-denominated assets in favor of gold, a trend they expect to persist.Supply disruptions also added to market worries.

iShares Silver Trust

Traders are vehemently claiming $SLV's price action is being heavily manipulated by large institutions and exchanges, particularly Jane Street and COMEX, through sudden drops and margin hikes, despite bullish fundamental indicators.

Despite escalating global conflicts in the Middle East, particularly involving Iran, users are puzzled and frustrated by $SLV's failure to act as a traditional safe-haven asset, often declining while gold rises.

Investors are increasingly discussing silver's critical and irreplaceable role in the booming artificial intelligence and data center sectors, recognizing its industrial demand as a strong long-term growth driver.

Many traders are actively "buying the dip" and "loading up" on calls and shares, viewing current lower prices as a prime opportunity before an anticipated surge to targets like $90, $100, or even $125+.

Traders are observing a significant divergence in performance, noting that $SLV is lagging or selling off while traditional safe-haven gold and digital asset Bitcoin surge, questioning silver's 'safe haven' status.
