The Zhitong Finance App learned that on Wednesday, gold and silver stocks opened and declined. Hecla Mining (HL.US) and First Majestic Silver (AG.US) fell more than 7%, Pan American Silver (PAAS.US) fell more than 6%, and Jintian (GFI.US) fell more than 5%. According to the news, spot gold fell by more than 1% and is now reported at $4442.55; spot silver has plummeted by nearly 5% to $77.23.

Citi pointed out that gold prices are expected to remain high in the short term due to geopolitical risks and rising expectations for US interest rate cuts. However, if the US economy accelerates recovery in the second half of the year, market concerns about the recession subside, and demand for safe-haven investment may weaken, and gold prices may face pullback pressure at that time. However, given the complexity of the global situation, the value of gold as a hedge still exists.
