New York, Jan 6, 2026, 10:06 EST — Regular session Gold.com Inc shares were little changed on Tuesday, up less than 0.1% at $36.35 in early U.S. trading, after the precious-metals dealer confirmed it had closed its acquisition of Monex Precious Metals.

NEW DELHI, Jan 4, 2026, 20:05 ET Silver prices have slipped about 13% from a record high and some market watchers see the metal dropping as much as 60% by the end of India’s fiscal 2027, after a surge that has started to squeeze industrial users.

NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 16:38 ET — After-hours Gold prices steadied near $4,300 an ounce on Friday as U.S. Treasury yields moved higher and the dollar firmed, muting early momentum after a record-breaking 2025 for precious metals. Reuters The pause matters because investors are reopening risk books for 2026 with Federal Reserve policy and geopolitics back in the driver’s seat.
