Gold and silver price forecast 2026: banks stick with $6,000 gold as silver re-prices lower

Spot gold rose 5.3% to $4,913.59 an ounce by 1234 GMT and silver climbed 9% to $86.60; gold was bouncing from Monday’s low of $4,403.24 and remained below last week’s record $5,594.82.

Gold prices plunged further on Monday, with spot bullion falling 3% to $4,718.35 an ounce by 9:10 a.m. ET, after an earlier drop of nearly 10%. U.S. April gold futures held steady around $4,740.90, leaving the metal about $900 below its Jan. 29 record high of $5,594.82 following a steep 9.8% fall on Friday. The selloff accelerated after CME Group raised margin requirements for precious-metals futures and the dollar strengthened on news that President Donald Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to head the Federal Reserve.

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.
