Precious metals just experienced a sharp pullback midweek as investors decided to cash in on some seriously impressive returns from gold, silver, and platinum so far this year. The move caught a lot of traders' attention. Meanwhile, equities were doing their own thing—quietly consolidating what's shaping up to be their strongest performance since the pre-pandemic era. It's the kind of market moment where you see profit-taking across multiple asset classes. Worth watching if you're thinking about how these moves ripple through broader portfolio positioning and market cycles.
