Silver prices took a hit as markets reacted to the latest policy move on tariffs. The decision to hold off on implementing critical minerals tariffs eased some supply chain concerns, but also signaled a shift in near-term trade expectations. Commodity traders are recalibrating positions as the announcement reduces the upside pressure that had been building in precious metals. This kind of policy pivot typically reshapes how investors approach asset allocation across commodities and digital assets alike.

Tariff reversal comes again to cut the leeks, silver price plunges trapping the longs Think this round of silver policy play is just a trap to lure more buyers Easing supply chain = capital withdrawal, simple logic, brother The bears have won again, now it's time to look at DeFi opportunities The correlation between cryptocurrencies and commodities has been messed up again

Silver prices have fallen, but isn't this just the artistic expression of supply and demand curves? Being whipped awake by policy is quite [dog head]. With the adjustment of key mineral tariffs, it perfectly exemplifies the philosophy of a bear market—seemingly easing the supply chain, but actually reshuffling investors' expectations. Clever. From a K-line perspective, this policy shift reminds me of the undervalued paintings from the Van Gogh era. Nowadays, commodity asset allocation is quite similar—it's a beauty understood only later. The floor price has once again been shattered by reality, but I wonder—could this be the last chance to clear out the deck in this round? (Pure personal insight) Once the policy changes, traders all recalibrate, and digital assets probably need to shift positions too. This is what you might call Schrödinger's bull market.

Ha, policies are fluctuating again, and silver prices are plunging straight down. I thought it could take off with the easing of tariffs on key minerals. Once the policy shifts, everyone has to readjust their positions, this move is really annoying. The rise in precious metals suddenly disappeared, I’m truly convinced. This constant fluctuation is the most frustrating for traders. Waiting to see what happens next, I still feel there’s hope. I’ll have to reconsider my holdings again…

Is this kind of policy reversal again? I've seen through it long ago. When tariffs are eased, silver prices drop. The logic of a capital pool scheme—what do you think? After a round of cuts, they redistribute the chips? --- The recent drop in precious metals is, frankly, the main players shaking out the market. They wait for retail investors to sell off before pushing prices up again. Old tricks, not investment advice. --- I just want to ask, who still believes in this policy game? Every time there's a shift, they chase the highs and sell the lows. Isn't that what they want? --- Uh... as soon as policies shift, traders start adjusting their positions. This kind of correlation has been obvious for a while. Just waiting for the next entry point. --- Silver prices drop, so what? Anyway, the logic in digital assets is clearer—at least no one is pretending, haha. --- The key mineral tariffs being postponed—some say it's good news. I think it's just making room for the next round of building positions. Just for reference.

It's the policy wind again causing trouble, silver gets hammered... The supply chain breathes a sigh of relief, but precious metals remain dull. Let's wait and see, after this wave of adjustment, prices will rise again. Policy twists and turns, really outrageous. Key mineral tariffs postponed? It feels like giving the market a chance to catch its breath. Silver took a pretty big hit this time, reconfiguring positions... The policy drama never ends, retail investors are the biggest victims.

Silver has dropped again? As soon as this policy shifts the wind, the enthusiasm for precious metals dissipates... When the key mineral tariffs are relaxed, the supply chain breathes a sigh of relief, but that also means the previous upward momentum is coming to a halt... With these policy twists, the allocation strategies for commodities and digital assets need to be recalculated. It seems every policy shift tests who reacts the fastest... Are trade expectations changing again? We really need to keep a close eye on these developments at all times.
