In the international market, US financial markets witnessed extreme volatility as sharp swings in gold, silver and US equities led to an estimated $9 trillion movement in market capitalisation

within a few hours, highlighting heightened uncertainty across asset classes.

Amid high-end volatility in gold markets, US markets saw a massive swing after prices of major commodities such as gold and silver crashed sharply before staging a strong recovery within just 6.5 hours. Gold prices initially fell by around 8 per cent but recovered swiftly, reflecting intense intraday trading activity.

Market data showed that nearly $9 trillion in market capitalisation changed hands during the session. Gold erased almost $3 trillion in value as US markets opened, before adding back close to $2 trillion by the market close.

Silver wiped out around $750 billion initially but later staged a strong reversal, adding back nearly $500 billion.

According to a report by BullionVault, gold and silver sank from fresh record prices on Thursday, with the crash in traditional safe-haven assets knocking gold almost $500 per ounce lower to $5,100. Silver, described as an industrially useful precious metal, plunged by 11.9 per cent amid a slump in major US AI and technology stocks.

The report further noted that gold peaked on Thursday just $5 per ounce below $5,600. The 8.7 per cent fall in gold prices wiped out $3.4 trillion from the value of all gold estimated to be above ground. Silver also saw extreme movements, peaking above $121 per troy ounce, marking a rise of more than 68 per cent in January, its strongest-ever monthly gain outside December 1979. Prices later slipped to $107.

The fall in precious metals coincided with pressure on technology stocks, with cloud-computing and data giant Oracle falling 5.4 per cent, while chipmaker Nvidia declined 2.7 per cent at the open amid fears of an AI bubble crash.
