Past
What happened
Silver collapsed 3.27% to $73.81, the worst single-day move in the metals complex. The decline triggered ETF outflows and broke the 50dma at $74.50, with industrial-demand cohort selling driving the slide.
Why
Why it matters
Silver's beta to industrial cycle is biting — oil down 4%, copper soft, China PMI Friday is the risk. The gold/silver ratio widened to 60.4 from 58.3 (gold relative outperformance), a classic 'risk-off in commodities' tell.
Watch
What to watch
$70.26 is the next major support (2σ ATR). A break invites $66 quickly. Resistance $77.35 (yesterday's level). Watch China May PMI Saturday and PCE Friday for the macro driver.
