Silver price jumps again after wild swings as delayed U.S. data looms

LONDON, February 9, 2026, 11:17 — Regular session Silver shot up 4.3% to $81.32 an ounce as of 0948 GMT on Monday, building on Friday’s hefty nearly 10% surge. A softer dollar helped fuel the gains. “Gold reclaims its historical role as a neutral sovereign asset,” said Rania Gule, senior market analyst at XS.com. Fawad Razaqzada at City Index and FOREX.com noted, “Silver is more of a risk asset than gold... when risk appetite is strong, you tend to see silver outperform gold.”

Silver price today: Spot silver falls over 11% as dollar firms and traders cash out

Silver price today: Spot silver falls over 11% as dollar firms and traders cash out

New York, Feb 5, 2026, 06:04 — Premarket Spot silver dropped again on Thursday, down 11.3% to $78.13 an ounce by 0920 GMT, after tumbling nearly 17% earlier in the session. This came as investors pared risk following a brief two-day rally. The metal slipped on a firmer U.S. dollar and easing geopolitical tensions, which reduced safe-haven appeal. “The market has not found an equilibrium yet,” said Julius Baer analyst Carsten Menke. Saxo Bank’s Ole Hansen pointed to heavy selling once silver failed to break past $90.50—a key resistance level where sellers typically emerge. Adding to the pressure: weaker Chinese demand ahead of Lunar New Year and reports of a sizable short position.

  • Intel (INTC) jumps 6%, hits 25-year high as 18A-P chip process enters risk production
    July 1, 2026, 11:59 AM EDT. Intel (INTC) surged 6.01% to $139.63 on June 30, putting shares at their highest in 25 years after the company said its 18A-P chip process started risk production. The milestone means the chips are one stage away from volume production, delivering 9% more performance at the same power draw. On-time progress is big for Intel, which has struggled with delays, and it gave bulls more reason to stay invested. Though shares have climbed more than 250% in 2026, the average Wall Street price target is still about $99, or 29% below current levels, showing investor hesitation about valuation. Intel's CFO said factory yield improvements could arrive sooner than planned, potentially boosting margins since higher yields would cut costs. Now investors are split on how much of Intel's comeback story is already in the price.
