  • Stocks Rise as Gold and Silver Prices Stabilize After Volatile Swings
    February 2, 2026, 11:00 AM EST. U.S. stocks opened higher Monday following wild overnight swings, with the S&P 500 up 0.5%, poised to end a three-day slump. The Dow Jones gained 317 points, while the Nasdaq rose 0.6%. Gains were led by computer storage firms like Sandisk, which surged 11.4%, and sectors such as airlines and cruise operators, buoyed by falling oil prices. Precious metals markets calmed after extreme volatility; gold briefly dropped below $4,500 an ounce but recovered to $4,742.80, down 0.1%. Silver reversed a 9% overnight loss, closing slightly up. Metals' price swings reflect investor concerns over Federal Reserve policy shifts and inflation risks. Analysts suggest recent price drops stem from leveraged traders unwinding bets rather than a fundamental drop in metals demand.
