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.

Gold price slips from record, nudging GLD and Newmont lower in early trade

Gold-linked ETFs and miners slipped Thursday as bullion eased off record peaks. SPDR Gold Shares dropped 0.5%, VanEck Gold Miners ETF lost 0.3%, and Newmont edged down 0.1% in early New York hours.

Trump also said he has no plans to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. “The dollar index is at a multi-week high and that’s providing a bit of a headwind for gold,” said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals.
