Gold price slides as dollar firms and silver slumps 14% in forced selloff

Gold slipped on Thursday as investors sought liquidity amid a broad market selloff, dragging the metal down despite its safe-haven reputation. Spot gold, the benchmark price for immediate delivery, dropped 2.3% to $4,850.89 an ounce by 11:29 a.m. ET. April U.S. gold futures dipped 1.5% to $4,873.90. “Some people are facing margin issues and may be covering metal positions because of losses in equities. Fundamentally, nothing has changed,” said Bob Haberkorn, senior market strategist at RJO Futures.

Gold price today: Bullion snaps back toward $5,100 as U.S.-Iran tensions flare

Silver price today: spot rebounds nearly 12% after rout, lifting SLV and miners

Spot silver surged 11.7% to $88.74 an ounce by 11:40 a.m. ET Tuesday, breaking a two-day slide and sparking a broad rally in precious metals. Gold climbed 6.9% to $4,985.44, platinum rose 6%, and palladium gained 4.8%. The rebound came after silver’s historic 27% one-day crash on Friday, followed by a further 6% fall Monday, triggered by the CME raising margin requirements—the cash needed to maintain futures positions—and market jitters over Donald Trump’s nomination of Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell at the Fed in May. Peter Grant from Zaner Metals described the recent selloff as “corrective within the long-term uptrend.” Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group remains bullish, citing ongoing investor focus on economic and political risks.
