Silver price slips from record highs — what traders are watching next week

London, Jan 17, 2026, 17:46 GMT — Market closed Spot silver, for immediate delivery, dropped 2.9% to $89.65 an ounce on Friday, following a record high of $93.57 in the previous session. Marex analyst Edward Meir described it as “a general retreat in the commodity complex after weeks of aggressive gains, with some profit-taking.” (Reuters) The decline followed a steep rally that drew a surge of individual investors. Vanda Research found retail traders bought $921.8 million worth of silver-backed ETFs over the last 30 days. On Wednesday alone, the iShares Silver Trust recorded a $69.2 million inflow from retail buyers.

Heating oil price slips 3% as U.S. distillate stockpiles stay tight — what traders watch next

Heating oil price slips 3% as U.S. distillate stockpiles stay tight — what traders watch next

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 07:36 EST — Premarket Heating oil prices slipped in early Thursday trading, retreating from gains made earlier this week as traders balanced firm U.S. distillate inventories with mixed signals from crude markets. (CME Group) This shift is crucial as the U.S. faces peak winter demand, with heating oil and diesel pulling from the same supply. Any squeeze in distillates can quickly push up delivery costs in the Northeast and boost prices for transport fuel. Distillate refers to the industry’s category for middle fuels, primarily diesel and heating oil. The government further divides inventories by “PADDs,”

Robinhood Markets (HOOD) stock slips as CME’s silver futures plan spotlights its push into derivatives

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 11:35 AM EST — Regular session Robinhood Markets shares fell 1.5% to $118.40 in late morning trading on Wednesday, after closing at $120.24 in the prior session. The dip comes with Wall Street down for a second day as investors sort through big-bank results and fresh economic data, a mix that tends to shape retail trading appetite and rate expectations. For brokers, both matter: activity drives transaction revenue, while rates influence what firms earn on customer cash. (Reuters) CME Group on Tuesday said it would launch a 100-ounce silver futures contract on Feb. 9, pending

(Investing.com) The contract tracked crude oil, which climbed amid worries that unrest in Iran might trigger a supply shock. “We are in a period of geopolitical instability and potential supply disruption,” said Jorge Montepeque, managing director at Onyx Capital Group.

Natural gas price ETF UNG slides as Henry Hub futures extend losses on warm-weather outlook

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 10:30 EST — Regular session Shares of the United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) fell 4.5% to $11.11 on Tuesday as U.S. natural gas futures slid in morning trade. The benchmark Henry Hub contract for February was down about 2.7% at $3.429 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), a standard gas-trading energy unit. CME Group The selloff matters because winter heating demand can swing U.S. gas prices quickly, and forecasters are now calling for an unusually warm stretch across large parts of the country.

Gold price forecast for 2026: Banks map a $4,275-$5,000 range after bullion’s blockbuster year

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 14:46 ET Gold and other precious metals may have room for further gains in 2026 as interest rates are expected to fall, analysts said, after gold climbed 66% in 2025. The rally pushed bullion to record highs on economic and geopolitical risks. Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at broker KCM Trade, said: “The key fundamental drivers of central bank demand and investor positioning ahead of expected lower U.S. rates in 2026 remain intact.” Reuters That matters now because investors start the year resetting hedge ratios and rebalancing portfolios after one of the most volatile year-end stretches

Silver price today: SLV slides as CME margin hike and China export rules shake silver stocks

Silver price today: SLV slides as CME margin hike and China export rules shake silver stocks

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 12:49 ET — Market closed Spot silver fell sharply on Thursday, with prices at $72.29 an ounce as of 12:41 p.m. ET, down 6.02% on the day, according to JM Bullion data. U.S. stock markets were shut for the New Year’s Day holiday. JM Bullion The move matters because silver’s late-December surge pulled in leveraged money, leaving prices vulnerable to forced selling when exchanges lift collateral requirements. China’s tighter export controls have also put the supply side back in focus just as 2026 trading gets underway. CME Group Silver straddles two worlds: investors trade it

Is the Stock Market Open on New Year’s Day 2026? Here’s When Trading Reopens

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 08:08 ET U.S. stock markets are closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, with trading set to resume on Friday, Jan. 2. AP News The shutdown matters for investors and companies that typically rebalance portfolios and place orders around the turn of the year, only to see executions pushed to the next session. Wall Street ended 2025 with double-digit gains, even as major indexes slipped in the final session of the year in holiday-thinned trading. “It’s perfectly fine in any bull market to have moments of cost,” said Giuseppe Sette, co-founder and president of Reflexivity.

Gold price today: GLD slips after hours as CME margin hike adds to year-end volatility

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 17:30 ET — After-hours Gold-linked exchange-traded funds eased in U.S. after-hours trading on Wednesday as bullion drifted lower into the final hours of the year. SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) was down 0.6% at $396.31. The late dip matters because gold has become one of 2025’s defining trades, and the last week has seen unusually sharp swings. A fresh increase in futures margin requirements — the cash collateral traders must post to hold leveraged positions — has added to the pressure.

Silver price stock today: SLV in focus as spot silver drops 7% from record highs

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 02:54 ET — Market closed. Spot silver slid 7.1% to $71.02 an ounce early Wednesday, extending a sharp retreat from Monday’s record $83.62. Reuters The pullback matters now because silver’s outsized 2025 rally has pushed more trading into equity-style vehicles such as silver-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which trade like stocks. Those products reprice quickly when the metal swings. Reuters It is also a year-end tape. Liquidity is thinner, and positioning tends to be crowded after big runs, making price moves look more dramatic than they would in a normal week. Reuters The dollar was part

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 17:42 ET — After-hours Shares of iShares Silver Trust (SLV), a silver-linked exchange-traded fund (ETF), were last up $2.99 at $68.98 in after-hours trading on Tuesday.
