Gold price slides as Trump nears Fed chair pick, sending silver and Asia stocks lower

SINGAPORE, Jan 30, 2026, 15:30 (SGT) Gold and silver dropped in Asian trading Friday as investors awaited U.S. President Donald Trump’s nomination for the next Federal Reserve chair. Markets see this decision as a key signal for the direction of U.S. interest rates going forward. The sell-off is significant, coming on the heels of a rare, once-in-a-generation rally in precious metals. Gold remains over 20% higher for January and is set for its largest monthly gain since 1980, making prices susceptible to sharp moves whenever the dollar or interest rate expectations shift. Stocks, the dollar, and bond yields shifted simultaneously.

Silver price today: record $120 spike fades as safe-haven demand meets Fed uncertainty

London, January 29, 2026, 11:11 (GMT) — Regular session Silver soared past $120 an ounce on Thursday before trimming some gains, buoyed by safe-haven demand amid rising U.S.-Iran tensions, a weaker dollar, and bets on further U.S. interest-rate cuts this year. By 0947 GMT, spot silver edged up 0.7% to $117.42 after peaking at $120.45. The metal has climbed nearly 64% in 2026 so far. “Silver’s squeeze means $130 is in sight,” said Jamie Dutta, market analyst at Nemo.money.

Gold nears $5,400 as silver stays hot — and the “safe haven” trade gets a reality check

LONDON, Jan 28, 2026, 22:28 GMT Gold surged 4% on Wednesday, holding near $5,400 an ounce in late U.S. trading. The metal’s sharp rally has also pushed silver close to record levels and lifted other precious metals. Peter Grant of Zaner Metals noted the rally “has kind of taken on a life of its own,” even as Standard Chartered warned silver might face a short-term pullback. (Reuters) The jump is significant now that the Federal Reserve isn’t pushing the narrative with consistent rate cuts. On Wednesday, the U.S. central bank kept its benchmark rate steady between 3.50% and 3.75%. Chair
