Silver price today: Spot jumps above $80 as haven demand returns ahead of U.S. inflation data

Silver surged almost 3% in European trading Friday, clearing the $80 mark as bullion prices caught a tailwind from lower U.S. yields and fresh anxiety over U.S.-Iran friction. Spot silver was last up 2.8% at $80.57 an ounce at 0941 GMT. Gold tacked on 0.7% to $5,032.49. Platinum and palladium moved up roughly 2.3% apiece. “Yields are down, reducing the opportunity cost of holding bullion,” noted Peter Fertig, analyst at Quantitative Commodity Research.

Gold price jumps back above $5,000 after softer U.S. inflation — what traders watch next

Gold surged more than 2% Friday, lifted by a weaker U.S. inflation print that reignited hopes for rate cuts and pulled bullion out of its slump for a weekly advance. Spot gold traded up 2.1% at $5,022.06 an ounce, marking a 1.2% rise for the week. U.S. gold futures for April settled at $5,046.30, up 2%.

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.

MARKET CALENDAR

Key Events Today

The catalysts most likely to move markets.

#1

U.S. index futures reopen at 18:00 ET

This is the clearest scheduled U.S.-market price-discovery point today and can transmit weekend news into equity-index futures before Monday's cash session.

#2

New Zealand retail sales at 18:45 ET

The Q2 retail package can move NZD and regional risk sentiment. Spillover to U.S. assets is usually secondary unless the result is unusually large.

#3

No scheduled domestic U.S. data or corporate reports

The absence of U.S. releases, earnings, IPO pricings and split events leaves fewer scheduled catalysts, increasing the relative importance of weekend headlines and positioning at the futures reopen.
