On July 13, ProShares Ultra Silver ETF (AGQ) declined 8.14% in regular trading, trading at $63.32/share, with turnover of $113 million.

On the news front, the US-Iran conflict in the Strait of Hormuz escalated again, driving crude oil prices sharply higher and pushing Treasury yields up, with the 10-year US Treasury yield rising to approximately 4.582%. Markets fear that energy-driven inflation may force the Federal Reserve to maintain tight monetary policy for an extended period. Spot silver fell 2.35% intraday to $58.36/oz, remaining within a descending channel pattern. President Trump announced the restoration of a naval blockade on Iran and declared the US would collect a 20% fee on all cargo transiting the Strait of Hormuz, further intensifying geopolitical tensions. As a 2x leveraged product tracking spot silver prices, the ETF amplified the underlying decline into a larger net asset value drawdown.
