Silver’s correction from 71.16 completed as a three-wave decline to 62.27, well above the $60 danger zone, with a firm break of 68.32 now the near-term test for whether the broader advance from 54.77 is resuming toward 80.32.

Dollar retreated from its post-FOMC highs as Brent crude dropped more than 3% to below $103 and WTI fell around 2.8% to $99.5, moving back under the psychologically important $100 level.
