Global markets were rattled as gold and silver prices plunged sharply, erasing over $3 trillion in value within 90 minutes.

Gold slid to around $5,135 while silver dropped to $109, largely due to aggressive profit-taking after a near 90% rally over the past year driven by geopolitical risks, a weak dollar, and central bank demand. The sell-off spilled into risk assets, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures falling notably.

US equities also closed lower, dragged down by a 12% plunge in Microsoft shares following disappointing earnings and guidance, adding to overall market volatility.
