Explanation

Silver Thursday refers to March 27, 1980, when the silver market crashed dramatically. The Hunt brothers' attempt to corner the silver market collapsed, leading to a precipitous drop in silver prices. This event followed a period of silver price speculation and had significant repercussions for commodity markets. The other dates (1970, 1960, 1990) are incorrect.
