Silver price slides again as margin hikes bite; Warsh Fed pick keeps metals on back foot

Silver price slides again as margin hikes bite; Warsh Fed pick keeps metals on back foot

London, February 2, 2026, 11:10 GMT — Regular session Silver prices dropped again Monday, with spot silver down 3.4% to $81.65 an ounce by 1008 GMT after plunging as much as 15% earlier. The sell-off came as CME margin hikes and a stronger dollar forced traders to scale back leveraged positions. Since hitting a record $121.64 last week, silver has lost roughly a third of its value. “The increase in margin requirements is creating a feedback loop,” said Zain Vawda, an analyst at MarketPulse by OANDA.

Bitcoin drops below $80,000 as ChatGPT and Grok spit out 2026 crypto picks

Bitcoin dropped 6.5% to $78,719 on Saturday afternoon, slipping under the $80,000 mark amid concerns over tighter liquidity following President Donald Trump’s choice of former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh as the next Fed chair. Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management, cautioned that price declines can “feed on themselves” and suggested further selling might occur in the coming days. Dropping below the $80,000 mark isn’t just another chart milestone for crypto. It comes at a time when small investors are once again hearing calls to buy the dip.

Gold price drops ₹9,050 in India as silver sinks ₹20,000 — JP Morgan still bets on $6,300 gold

Gold and silver prices in India tumbled sharply on Monday, marking a fourth consecutive day of declines that rattled the bullion market. Ten grams of 24-carat gold dropped Rs 9,050, settling at Rs 151,530. Silver also plunged, down Rs 20,000 to Rs 300,000 per kilogram. Meanwhile, 22-carat gold was priced at Rs 138,900 per 10 grams. Prices slid following a broad pullback in precious metals and commodities after a wild January surge. Gold dropped roughly 9%, silver tumbled over 13% in early Asian trading. CME Group responded to Friday’s steep selloff by hiking margin requirements—the cash needed to hold futures positions, according to Reuters. Vivek Dhar, strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, described it as “more hawkish” talk on U.S. policy and labeled the dip a “correction and a buying opportunity.”

RBA rate call hangs on CPI: Big banks split as Australia inflation data looms

Australia’s interest-rate outlook narrowed sharply Tuesday, after Commonwealth Bank signaled underlying inflation could come in hotter than expected. The update revived the possibility of a rate hike from the Reserve Bank of Australia as soon as February. The inflation report set for Wednesday is the final key data before the RBA’s Feb. 2–3 meeting, arriving as household budgets are under pressure. Markets have swung sharply between “hold” and “hike” bets, with tiny shifts in inflation numbers tipping the scales.

  • Circle Drops 15% After Open USD Stablecoin Reveal, Revenue Model in Focus
    June 30, 2026, 1:44 PM EDT. Circle Internet Group (NYSE:CRCL) dropped 15% to $64.55 after news hit about Open USD, a stablecoin from a group including Visa, Mastercard and Coinbase. Open USD brings free minting and redemption, no caps on volume, and a plan to split reserve earnings with partners-unlike Circle's USDC. The change put pressure on Circle's valuation, at about 23 cents for every USDC issued, with investors eyeing how reserve income gets distributed. BNY Mellon (NYSE:BNY) added more USDC custody, showing steady institutional demand but also more rivals in the space. Stablecoin issuers slid while payment networks and ETFs traded up. Circle logged $694 million in revenue and reserve income for Q1, with high costs keeping investors alert to shifts in stablecoin economics.
