Gold price set for a bumpy week after historic slide from record highs

Gold price set for a bumpy week after historic slide from record highs

Gold prices head into the next session after a record plunge on Friday, with spot bullion suffering its sharpest daily drop since 1983. Spot gold tumbled 9.5% to $4,883.62 an ounce, while U.S. February futures closed down 11.4% at $4,745.10. Despite the selloff, gold remains on track for a monthly gain exceeding 13%. The slide came after Donald Trump tapped Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve and the dollar index rose 0.7%. Standard Chartered's Suki Cooper described the move as profit-taking — locking in gains — driven by shifts in the dollar and real yields, or inflation-adjusted bond returns. Nicky Shiels, strategist at MKS PAMP SA, called January “the most volatile month” in precious metals.

Brent oil price jumps above $70 as Iran strike fears flare; traders eye OPEC+ and U.S. stocks

Brent crude futures jumped more than 2% on Thursday and briefly traded above $70 a barrel, a four-month high, as investors weighed the risk of a U.S. military strike on Iran, OPEC’s fourth-largest producer at about 3.2 million barrels per day. Brent was up $1.39, or 2.03%, at $69.79 by 1011 GMT after touching $70.35; U.S. West Texas Intermediate rose $1.37 to $64.58. The immediate fear is Iran could “close the Strait of Hormuz” — a route for about 20 million barrels per day of oil — PVM analyst John Evans said, while DBS Bank’s Suvro Sarkar called the geopolitical risk premium the “main driver.”

Silver price today: record $120 spike fades as safe-haven demand meets Fed uncertainty

Silver soared past $120 an ounce on Thursday before trimming some gains, buoyed by safe-haven demand amid rising U.S.-Iran tensions, a weaker dollar, and bets on further U.S. interest-rate cuts this year. By 0947 GMT, spot silver edged up 0.7% to $117.42 after peaking at $120.45. The metal has climbed nearly 64% in 2026 so far. “Silver’s squeeze means $130 is in sight,” said Jamie Dutta, market analyst at Nemo.money.

Gold nears $5,400 as silver stays hot — and the “safe haven” trade gets a reality check

Gold surged 4% on Wednesday, holding near $5,400 an ounce in late U.S. trading. The metal’s sharp rally has also pushed silver close to record levels and lifted other precious metals. Peter Grant of Zaner Metals noted the rally “has kind of taken on a life of its own,” even as Standard Chartered warned silver might face a short-term pullback.
