Adam Button, an analyst at the American financial website investinglive, stated that the sudden plunge in gold prices was inexplicable. This led to a broad-based rally in the US dollar. The drop in gold prices and the strengthening of the dollar may have been triggered by overall risk aversion. After opening fairly steady, the US stock market experienced a significant drop. The drop in gold prices also sparked speculation about leaked CPI reports, which may occur after the release of popular reports, but I have doubts about this. Whatever the driving force behind this move, it has heightened concerns that "everything is insecure" among people. I believe the trigger was the 12% drop in Microsoft's stock price in a single day. Since then, we have seen continued concerns about industry volatility. The software industry continues to be impacted, but now the logistics and transportation industry are also facing challenges. It is possible that someone working as a software engineer was forced to sell their gold position.
