Movement Alert|ProShares Ultra Silver Falls 8.29% in Pre-Market Trading, Precious Metals Sell Off as Rate Hike Expectations Rise

Market Focus
Yesterday

On September 10, ProShares Ultra Silver declined 8.29% in pre-market trading, quoted at $76.69/share, with turnover of approximately $16.91 million.

On the news front, overseas precious metals saw a broad sell-off on the evening of September 10, with COMEX silver plunging over 3% to approximately $66.5/oz and COMEX gold falling nearly 1% to around $4,420/oz. As a 2x leveraged ETF tracking spot silver prices, the single-day silver decline was amplified through the leverage mechanism, resulting in a steeper drawdown. LME copper also dropped sharply, with losses exceeding 3.5% at one point, reflecting widespread pressure across the metals complex.

Market analysts noted that the sell-off was driven by multiple converging factors. Fed Chair Wosh recently delivered hawkish signals, pushing rate hike expectations higher. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have driven up oil prices, intensifying inflation concerns and weakening the safe-haven appeal of precious metals in the short term. Additionally, U.S. August nonfarm payroll data exceeded expectations, further bolstering the case for tighter monetary policy. Two key upcoming inflation readings — PPI and CPI — are set to become decisive variables for near-term precious metals pricing.
