FTSE 100 slips as Barclays takes a hit from Trump’s credit-card cap push; gold miners climb

FTSE 100 slips as Barclays takes a hit from Trump’s credit-card cap push; gold miners climb

London, 12 January 2026, 10:58 GMT — Regular session Britain’s FTSE 100 slipped in early Monday trade, pulled lower by a steep drop in Barclays after investors weighed new U.S. policy risks alongside a firmer pound. By 0823 GMT, the blue-chip index was down 0.1%, while sterling gained 0.3% against the dollar, hitting roughly $1.34. (Investing.com South Africa) London stocks kicked off the week at record levels, with the FTSE 100 closing Friday at an all-time high. The rally, fueled by deal chatter around Glencore and positive cues from U.S. jobs data, has left little room for surprises. (Reuters) The

India gold price near record: 24K at 140,460 rupees as Trump tariff verdict looms; MCX silver stays hot

Mumbai, Jan 12, 2026, 03:56 IST Gold and silver prices in India look set to stay steady this week, as traders await a U.S. Supreme Court decision on President Donald Trump’s tariff policy amid rising geopolitical tensions, analysts said. MCX gold futures gained 2.25% last week, closing at 138,819 rupees per 10 grams, while overseas gold futures hovered near $4,500.90 an ounce. Silver on the MCX surged 6.94% to 252,725 rupees per kg, after hitting a record 259,692, according to PTI. Pranav Mer of JM Financial described any dips as “buying opportunities,” while Angel One’s Prathamesh Mallya noted that the

Silver price stock SLV jumps nearly 4% as bullion nears $80 — CPI and index flows next

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 12:42 EST — Market closed The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) closed up 3.8% on Friday at $72.38, tracking a rebound in silver prices and lifting a swath of U.S.-listed silver miners. Hecla Mining gained 6.8%, First Majestic Silver rose 5.6% and Pan American Silver added 2.2%, while the Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) ended up 2.5%. That jump matters now because silver has turned jumpy again after a steep run last year, and the market is trying to sort out what is “real” demand and what is flow. Some of the biggest pushes are

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 13:44 EST — Regular session SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) rose 0.3% to $412.88 in midday trading on Friday, while major U.S.-listed gold miners also moved higher. Newmont gained 1.4%, Agnico Eagle Mines climbed 2.2% and Franco-Nevada advanced 3.1% as investors pushed back into bullion-linked names.

Gold price today: 24K jumps to ₹137,122/10g, silver back above ₹242,000/kg after whipsaw

NEW DELHI, January 9, 2026, 23:22 IST India’s benchmark gold and silver rates jumped on Friday, lifting bullion back toward recent highs after Thursday’s slide. The India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA), an industry body that publishes benchmark bullion prices, put its PM rate for 24-carat gold (999 purity) at 137,122 rupees per 10 grams, up 1,349 rupees on the day, while silver (999) rose 6,982 rupees to 242,808 rupees per kg. IBJA rates are quoted before India’s goods and services tax (GST) and before jewellers add making charges. (ibjarates.com) The move matters because it keeps domestic prices pinned near

Silver price snaps back, lifting SLV stock after U.S. jobs data; CPI is next test

New York, January 9, 2026, 10:09 EST — Regular session iShares Silver Trust shares jumped roughly 3.2% to $71.94 in Friday morning trading in New York, moving higher as silver prices strengthened. Other silver-related names saw gains as well—Global X Silver Miners ETF added around 1.5%, while First Majestic Silver climbed approximately 4.7%. Silver’s rebound is turning heads, after days of volatility driven by big rules-based trades and more investors rethinking U.S. rates. The annual “reshuffle” for the Bloomberg Commodity Index—known to prompt forced buying and selling of futures—has been cranking up the heat. Spot silver fell 3.2% to $75.64

Silver price stock SLV drops in premarket as spot silver slides ahead of U.S. jobs data

New York, January 8, 2026, 06:17 EST — Premarket Shares of iShares Silver Trust (SLV), an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that holds physical silver and trades like a stock, fell 2.9% to $68.90 in premarket trade. The fund closed down 3.7% at $70.96 on Wednesday and was testing a break below the prior session’s $69.22 low, with the $73.84 52-week high back in view as a near-term ceiling. Investing.com The timing is awkward for silver bulls. The market is heading into a U.S. jobs report that can shift interest-rate bets in a hurry, and silver tends to react hard when the

Gold price slips ahead of U.S. jobs data as Newmont stock and GLD track bullion

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 06:12 EST — Premarket Spot gold fell 0.6% to $4,427.48 an ounce on Thursday, weighed down by a firmer dollar and positioning ahead of the Bloomberg Commodity Index’s annual rebalancing, a reshuffle that can force big funds to trade futures. “Over the next five days, COMEX futures could see selling in the region of $6 to $7 billion in each metal,” Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, said. Reuters The timing matters because gold is coming off a year that reset price levels and expectations, leaving less room for surprises. Morgan Stanley

Silver price slumps hit SLV ETF and silver miner stocks as traders brace for US jobs data

Silver price slumps hit SLV ETF and silver miner stocks as traders brace for US jobs data

New York, January 7, 2026, 17:33 EST — After-hours The iShares Silver Trust (SLV), a closely watched proxy for the silver price, fell about 3.7% in after-hours trading on Wednesday as silver pulled back, dragging U.S.-listed silver miners lower. The setback matters because silver’s rally has been a crowded trade and the instruments tied closest to spot prices tend to swing hardest when positioning shifts. When the metal turns, miners often move more than the underlying commodity, for better or worse. Traders are also staring at the U.S. data calendar again. Silver is a non-yielding asset — it does not

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 14:42 EST — Regular session Spot silver fell 4.1% to $77.93 an ounce by 1:36 p.m. ET on Wednesday, as traders took profits after a sharp run and the dollar strengthened. HSBC raised its 2026 average silver price forecast to $68.25 an ounce but cautioned the market could stay volatile. “We’re viewing today’s pullback as general profit taking after that recent surge,” said David Meger, director of metals trading at High Ridge Futures. Reuters The price action matters now because silver has been moving in big clips even by precious-metals standards, with cash and futures markets

Gold stocks slide as gold price pulls back; Newmont, GDX drop with U.S. payrolls ahead

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 10:10 EST — Regular session Gold stocks fell on Wednesday as bullion prices slipped, with Newmont down 3.1% at $105.80 and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF off 3.7% at $88.73. SPDR Gold Shares, a major gold-backed fund, fell 1.1% to $408.81, while Agnico Eagle slid 2.9% and Gold Fields dropped 5.9%.

Gold, silver stocks jump in U.S. premarket; GLD, SLV and miners in play ahead of jobs data

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 07:33 EST — Premarket Gold and silver stocks were higher in U.S. premarket trading on Wednesday, led by silver miners, as investors stuck with the sector after bullion’s sharp start to the year. Newmont was up about 5.5%, while Hecla Mining and First Majestic rose roughly 12.8% and 9.9%, respectively. The move matters because miners and precious-metals ETFs have turned into a fast macro trade again: a mix of geopolitics, rate bets and a crowded positioning story. Mining shares tend to exaggerate swings in metal prices, and the ETF wrappers make it easy to move
