Analyst: Despite the silver plunge, retail investors continue to double down

BlockBeats News, February 8 — According to the Financial Times of the UK, despite the sharp decline in silver prices, which nearly erased the remarkable gains made earlier this year, retail investors have still invested nearly $500 million in the silver market over the past week. Data analysis from Vanda Research shows that as silver prices plummeted, retail investors poured $430 million into the largest silver ETF, SLV, during the six trading days ending Thursday, including over $100 million on January 30, when silver prices fell 27%, marking the largest single-day decline in history. StoneX analyst Rona O’Connell said, “People are attracted by the allure of silver.” She also mentioned that silver’s appeal has been further boosted by its “massive sell-off,” with some investors viewing it as a good opportunity to buy at lower prices.
