Gold breaks $5,300 as safe-haven rush lifts silver; India weighs import duty hike

Gold breaks $5,300 as safe-haven rush lifts silver; India weighs import duty hike

Gold broke through $5,300 for the first time on Wednesday as the U.S. dollar slid toward a near four-year low ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy decision. Spot gold hit a record $5,311.31 and was trading around $5,305, while silver was at about $115 after touching $117.69 earlier this week. Kelvin Wong, a senior market analyst at OANDA, pointed to gold’s “very strong” inverse link to the dollar, while Tastylive’s Ilya Spivak said markets were “getting defensive” before Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaks later in the day. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/golds-blistering-rally-continues-past-5200-dollar-plunges-4-year-low-2026-01-28/ The surge is already rippling through India, where gold and silver jumped to record highs in the spot market on Tuesday, tracking global gains during the long weekend. Gold traded above 160,000 rupees per 10 grams and silver above 360,000 rupees per kg, with futures on India’s Multi Commodity Exchange also near peaks before easing late in the session. “Silver now derives nearly two-thirds of its demand from industrial uses,” Kotak Mutual Fund wrote, flagging strong consumption from sectors such as solar, electronics and electric vehicles alongside tight supply. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/for-havens-sake-gold-silver-continue-to-rally/articleshow/127663838.cms

Vanguard breaks $1 trillion overseas barrier as CEO targets 40 million clients

Vanguard breaks $1 trillion overseas barrier as CEO targets 40 million clients

Vanguard’s assets held by clients outside the U.S. have topped $1 trillion for the first time. The investment giant aims to almost double its international client count to around 40 million over the next five years. This milestone is significant as Vanguard aims to attract more savers to foreign markets, where cash remains king and hurdles like fees, platforms, and paperwork can discourage newcomers. In Britain and some European countries, policymakers have been urging households to embrace more investment risk to strengthen retirement savings and boost economic growth.

Gold breaks $5,300 as dollar hits 4-year low; mining stocks jump ahead of Fed call

Gold breaks $5,300 as dollar hits 4-year low; mining stocks jump ahead of Fed call

Gold broke through $5,300 for the first time on Wednesday as the dollar slid to near four-year lows after President Donald Trump called its value “great” and said he would soon name his pick to head the Federal Reserve. Spot gold rose 2.3% to $5,305.65 an ounce by 0832 GMT, after a record $5,311.31; U.S. February futures climbed 4.3% to $5,301.90. OANDA’s Kelvin Wong pointed to a “very strong” inverse link to the dollar, while Tastylive’s Ilya Spivak said markets were “getting defensive” ahead of Chair Jerome Powell, with the Fed expected to hold rates steady. An Economist analysis called the move part of a “debasement trade” — investors worried about fiscal splurges, fraught geopolitics and weakening institutions dumping bonds and dollars and buying gold. It said bullion is up more than 17% this year and first rose above $5,000 an ounce on Jan. 26, averaging a 0.6% daily gain on 27 stock sell-offs since April 2 last year. Holdings in gold exchange-traded funds, which let investors buy exposure to metal like a stock, have risen above 4,000 tonnes, with Asia-based ETF holdings more than tripling over two years to 460 tonnes.
