Wheaton Precious Metals shares are under pressure today as traders reassess the recent spike in gold and silver, with some taking profits after the metals pulled back from recent highs. The shift in risk appetite comes amid changing views on the U.S. dollar and easing geopolitical tensions that had previously driven safe‑haven buying.
Analysts, who had recently lifted their earnings forecasts on the back of stronger commodity prices and higher expected production, may now face pressure to trim their price targets. If the metals rally continues to cool, investors could see more cautious revisions, adding to the stock’s current downside momentum.
