Silvercorp Metals shares are sliding as part of a broader sell-off in precious metals, after spot silver dropped 2.5% to about $74.36 per ounce. The move is tied to rising geopolitical tensions, including reports of a U.S. Navy blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, which has sparked inflation worries and dampened hopes for near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts.
The stock is also feeling pressure from recent institutional selling, with U.S. Global Investors having liquidated more than 1.3 million shares late last week. While no new analyst price targets were announced in connection with today’s move, traders are watching whether the combination of weaker silver prices and large block sales could trigger further downward revisions.
