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

London, Feb 3, 2026, 13:46 GMT — Regular session Gold rebounded sharply on Tuesday and silver surged, as traders snapped up bullion after last week’s wipeout. 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. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said the closely watched January employment report will not be released this Friday because of a partial government shutdown.

Gold surges after brutal selloff as Wall Street banks tell investors to ‘buy the dip’

Gold surges after brutal selloff as Wall Street banks tell investors to ‘buy the dip’

Gold jumped over 5% on Tuesday, marking its biggest daily rally since November 2008 after two days of heavy losses. Spot gold soared 5.8% to $4,935.56 an ounce by 0818 GMT. Silver shot up 10%, while April U.S. gold futures climbed 6.6%. The metal had tumbled to $4,403.24 on Monday, coming off a peak of $5,594.82 just two sessions earlier. Meanwhile, the U.S. government’s partial shutdown delayed this week’s jobs report. This move is significant since the plunge came swiftly enough to shake gold’s usual “safe haven” reputation. It also revealed just how much of the rally was fueled by leverage — borrowed funds that can trigger forced selling once prices falter.

Gold price tumbles again on CME margin hike; traders brace for U.S. payrolls

New York, Feb 2, 2026, 10:11 EST — Regular session 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.

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

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.”

Gold price plunges, silver price slumps after Trump taps Warsh for Fed chair

Gold price plunges, silver price slumps after Trump taps Warsh for Fed chair

Gold and silver prices plunged on Friday, sending gold toward its sharpest daily drop since 1983 and silver toward its biggest one-day fall ever, after U.S. President Donald Trump chose Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve. By 1:57 p.m. ET, spot gold had tumbled 9.5% to $4,883.62 an ounce, down from a record $5,594.82 hit Thursday. Silver collapsed 27.7% to $83.99, while platinum dropped roughly 19% and palladium nearly 16%. U.S. gold futures closed 11.4% lower. The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against major currencies, gained 0.7% amid the selloff. Standard Chartered’s Suki Cooper attributed the slide to profit-taking as the dollar and “real yields” — inflation-adjusted bond returns — moved. MKS PAMP strategist Nicky Shiels called January “the most volatile month in precious metals history,” pointing to $4,600 gold and $80 silver as potential support levels. The drop is significant since it follows a frenzied month that drew in momentum traders and pushed even the most cautious investors to jump in. Moves like this can quickly wipe out leveraged positions and shift the mood heading into February.

Gold price tumbles nearly 9% after Warsh Fed pick; silver hit by record plunge

NEW YORK, Jan 30, 2026, 13:36 EST — Regular session Gold prices tumbled on Friday and were poised for their biggest one-day fall since 1983, as investors took profits after U.S. President Donald Trump named former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh as his choice to run the central bank. Spot gold was down 8.9% at $4,915.17 an ounce by 12:30 p.m. ET, while U.S. gold futures slid 7.7% to $4,940.70; silver sank 21.92% to $90.66. Standard Chartered’s Suki Cooper said “expectations for real yields” — inflation-adjusted bond returns — and the dollar helped trigger the profit-taking, while the World Gold Council’s Joe Cavatoni said gold is increasingly viewed as “a strategic portfolio allocation.”

Gold price dives below $5,000, silver breaks $100 as Trump’s Fed chair pick nears

Gold price dives below $5,000, silver breaks $100 as Trump’s Fed chair pick nears

Gold and silver sank on Friday, snapping a month-long surge, as traders positioned for President Donald Trump’s expected announcement on who will lead the U.S. Federal Reserve next. The move matters because the rally in precious metals has been tied to a weak dollar and bets that U.S. policy would stay loose. With Kevin Warsh widely seen as the front-runner, the U.S. currency and Treasury yields rose, undercutting bullion’s appeal. The “dollar debasement” trade — buying gold as a hedge against the currency losing value — went into reverse.

Gold price slides as Trump nears Fed chair pick, sending silver and Asia stocks lower

Gold and silver dropped in Asian trading Friday as investors awaited U.S. President Donald Trump’s nomination for the next Federal Reserve chair. Markets see this decision as a key signal for the direction of U.S. interest rates going forward. The sell-off is significant, coming on the heels of a rare, once-in-a-generation rally in precious metals. Gold remains over 20% higher for January and is set for its largest monthly gain since 1980, making prices susceptible to sharp moves whenever the dollar or interest rate expectations shift.

New York, Jan 29, 2026, 17:06 EST — After-hours Gold dipped on Thursday as investors cashed in profits following a record peak, stretching the recent bout of volatile swings at month-end; the metal remains roughly 24% higher for January.

Silver fell 2.1% to $114.141, while platinum and palladium slid 3.2% and 3.7%, respectively. “We are seeing a dramatic sell-off after precious metals made new recent all-time highs,” said David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures.
