Gold, silver stocks jump in U.S. premarket; GLD, SLV and miners in play ahead of jobs data

Gold, silver stocks jump in U.S. premarket; GLD, SLV and miners in play ahead of jobs data

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 07:33 EST — Premarket Gold and silver stocks were higher in U.S. premarket trading on Wednesday, led by silver miners, as investors stuck with the sector after bullion’s sharp start to the year. Newmont was up about 5.5%, while Hecla Mining and First Majestic rose roughly 12.8% and 9.9%, respectively. The move matters because miners and precious-metals ETFs have turned into a fast macro trade again: a mix of geopolitics, rate bets and a crowded positioning story. Mining shares tend to exaggerate swings in metal prices, and the ETF wrappers make it easy to move

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 07:09 EST — Premarket Silver prices slid more than 2% on Wednesday as profit-taking and a firmer U.S. dollar cooled a sharp rally that pushed the metal to record highs. Spot silver — the price for immediate delivery — was down 2.3% at $79.40 per ounce by 10:01 GMT, after hitting an all-time high of $83.62 on Dec. 29. “It’s been quite a frenetic and volatile start to kick off the New Year,” said Jamie Dutta, chief market analyst at Nemo.money. Reuters The pullback matters because traders are shifting their focus from geopolitics to U.S.

NEW YORK, Jan 6, 2026, 17:18 EST — After-hours Shares of iShares Silver Trust, a silver-backed trust that trades like a stock, rose 6.7% to $73.71 in after-hours trading on Tuesday, as spot silver — the cash price for immediate delivery — jumped 5.4% to $80.68 an ounce. “Precious metals traders see more risk on the horizon than stock and bond traders do at present,” said Jim Wyckoff, a senior analyst at Kitco Metals, citing the weekend U.S. raid in Venezuela and renewed safe-haven demand. Reuters The jolt matters because SLV is a heavily used proxy for silver in equity

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 13:43 (EST) — Regular session Shares of iShares Silver Trust (SLV) rose 6.3% to $73.44 in afternoon trade on Tuesday as silver prices pushed higher. Silver miner First Majestic Silver gained 7.9%, while Pan American Silver and Wheaton Precious Metals were up about 4.0% and 3.6%, respectively. SLV hit $73.83 and had traded about 70 million shares by early afternoon. The move matters because silver is trading on macro headlines again, not corporate results. The metal straddles two roles — a haven in crises and an industrial input — which can amplify swings when investors

ActivTrades analyst Ricardo Evangelista said precious metals were “supported by increased safe-haven demand amid heightened geopolitical

New York, January 5, 2026, 09:56 EST — Regular session Shares of iShares Silver Trust, a silver-backed exchange-traded fund that trades like a stock, jumped 4.7% to $68.81 in early New York dealing. The fund’s intraday range ran from $67.61 to $69.68. The move mattered because it put silver back in the driver’s seat after a choppy end to 2025, with geopolitical risk quickly bleeding into assets investors treat as refuges. “Safe-haven” buying is demand for assets traders use as shelter when headlines turn hostile. Reuters It also landed as traders reset interest-rate bets for the new year. Precious metals

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 16:46 ET — After-hours iShares Silver Trust (SLV), a widely traded proxy for the metal, was up 2.1% at $65.75 in after-hours trade on Friday. Spot silver rose 1.7% to $72.45 an ounce during the U.S. session, Reuters reported, even as the dollar index firmed and the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.195%. Reuters The move matters because silver has become an early barometer for how investors are positioning for U.S. rates and risk in 2026. When bond yields and the dollar rise, precious metals can face headwinds because they do not pay interest and

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 13:42 ET — Regular session Shares of the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) rose 0.8% to $64.96 by 1:31 p.m. ET, while the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) gained 1.0% to $23.88. The moves put “silver price today” back in focus as investors reopened positions after a volatile finish to 2025 and an outsized run in precious metals. It matters because silver sits at the intersection of safe-haven demand and industrial consumption. That mix can amplify swings when markets are repricing U.S. interest-rate expectations. Physically backed ETFs such as SLV and PSLV tend to track bullion

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 10:04 ET — Regular session iShares Silver Trust (SLV) rose $2.57, or 4.0%, to $66.99 in morning New York trading on Friday, the first U.S. session of 2026. Spot silver was up 3.4% earlier on Friday after hitting an all-time high of $83.62 on Monday, Reuters reported. “Bulls seem to be drawing strength from geopolitical risk and hopes of lower U.S. rates,” said Lukman Otunuga, senior research analyst at FXTM. Investors are pricing in at least two quarter-point Fed rate cuts this year, Reuters said, and the metal’s record 2025 gain was fueled by its

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 13:35 ET — Regular session Shares of iShares Silver Trust (SLV), a popular proxy for the metal, fell about 6% on Wednesday, tracking a sharp drop in silver prices on the final trading day of 2025. The move matters because silver-linked funds and miners are closing out a year of outsized gains with a burst of volatility, leaving investors sensitive to any shift in positioning. Traders also had to contend with higher futures “margins” — the cash collateral required to hold leveraged contracts — which can force selling when the bar rises. Reuters Spot silver

Silver price today: SLV pops after-hours as spot silver rebounds from record-high whiplash

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. The move followed a bounce in silver prices after a violent, year-end swing that rattled positioning across precious metals. Spot silver hit a record $83.62 an ounce on Monday before registering its biggest daily drop since August 2020. Reuters+1 That matters now because tighter trading conditions can amplify moves in a market that has already been surging. CME said in a clearing advisory that updated “performance bond” (margin) requirements

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 10:01 ET — Regular session Shares of the iShares Silver Trust rose 3.5% in early U.S. trading on Tuesday, tracking a rebound in silver prices after a violent pullback from record highs. Reuters The move matters now because silver’s year-end surge has come with outsized swings that can force fast position changes in futures, ETFs and mining stocks. Investors are also adjusting to policy-driven supply and trading frictions at the same time, from tighter export administration in China to higher cash requirements for leveraged futures trades. Spot silver was up 5.7% at $76.34 an ounce,
