The ongoing rally in precious metals—particularly gold and silver—might face significant headwinds once index rebalancing cycles kick in. Here's the thing: when indices adjust their allocations, fund flows shift dramatically. If rebalancing triggers automatic selling in commodity indices that hold substantial precious metals positions, we could see a sharp pullback from the parabolic moves we've witnessed.

Timing matters here. Traders watching commodity ETFs and benchmark adjustments should keep an eye on rebalancing dates. The metals might hold their gains if the broader macro backdrop remains supportive, but any forced liquidation from algorithmic rebalancing could create unexpected volatility. Worth monitoring if you're holding bullion or commodity exposure in your portfolio.
