Trading in metal markets Monday hit the brakes on a year-end rally, sending silver futures to their steepest one-day decline in almost five years.
Investors dropped commodities key to everything from central-bank reserves to the infrastructure build-out linked to the A.I. boom. The selloff in copper and precious-metals futures dragged down shares in Arizona mining firms, the world’s largest gold producer and a silver company with assets stretching from Alaska to Quebec.
Key to electrical wiring running through data centers and power lines, copper fell 4.8%. Gold retreated 4.5%, while silver plunged 8.7%. All three remain near record prices after a dizzying 2025 climb, and in London trading, copper hit another all-time high on Monday.
