Gold and silver price forecast 2026: banks stick with $6,000 gold as silver re-prices lower

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said the closely watched January employment report will not be released this Friday because of a partial government shutdown.

Silver price whipsaws after CME margin hike; SLV slides as traders brace for Friday jobs data

London, Feb 2, 2026, 15:11 GMT — Regular session The silver price slid again on Monday, with spot silver down 3.3% at $81.75 an ounce by 1148 GMT after earlier falling as much as 15%, leaving it about 32% below last week’s record.

Silver price slides again as margin hikes bite; Warsh Fed pick keeps metals on back foot

Silver price slides again as margin hikes bite; Warsh Fed pick keeps metals on back foot

London, February 2, 2026, 11:10 GMT — Regular session Silver prices dropped again Monday, with spot silver down 3.4% to $81.65 an ounce by 1008 GMT after plunging as much as 15% earlier. The sell-off came as CME margin hikes and a stronger dollar forced traders to scale back leveraged positions. Since hitting a record $121.64 last week, silver has lost roughly a third of its value. “The increase in margin requirements is creating a feedback loop,” said Zain Vawda, an analyst at MarketPulse by OANDA.

Gold price drops ₹9,050 in India as silver sinks ₹20,000 — JP Morgan still bets on $6,300 gold

Gold price drops ₹9,050 in India as silver sinks ₹20,000 — JP Morgan still bets on $6,300 gold

Gold and silver prices in India tumbled sharply on Monday, marking a fourth consecutive day of declines that rattled the bullion market. Ten grams of 24-carat gold dropped Rs 9,050, settling at Rs 151,530. Silver also plunged, down Rs 20,000 to Rs 300,000 per kilogram. Meanwhile, 22-carat gold was priced at Rs 138,900 per 10 grams. Prices slid following a broad pullback in precious metals and commodities after a wild January surge. Gold dropped roughly 9%, silver tumbled over 13% in early Asian trading. CME Group responded to Friday’s steep selloff by hiking margin requirements—the cash needed to hold futures positions, according to Reuters. Vivek Dhar, strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, described it as “more hawkish” talk on U.S. policy and labeled the dip a “correction and a buying opportunity.”

Gold price plunges, silver price slumps after Trump taps Warsh for Fed chair

Gold price plunges, silver price slumps after Trump taps Warsh for Fed chair

Gold and silver prices plunged on Friday, sending gold toward its sharpest daily drop since 1983 and silver toward its biggest one-day fall ever, after U.S. President Donald Trump chose Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve. By 1:57 p.m. ET, spot gold had tumbled 9.5% to $4,883.62 an ounce, down from a record $5,594.82 hit Thursday. Silver collapsed 27.7% to $83.99, while platinum dropped roughly 19% and palladium nearly 16%. U.S. gold futures closed 11.4% lower. The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against major currencies, gained 0.7% amid the selloff. Standard Chartered’s Suki Cooper attributed the slide to profit-taking as the dollar and “real yields” — inflation-adjusted bond returns — moved. MKS PAMP strategist Nicky Shiels called January “the most volatile month in precious metals history,” pointing to $4,600 gold and $80 silver as potential support levels. The drop is significant since it follows a frenzied month that drew in momentum traders and pushed even the most cautious investors to jump in. Moves like this can quickly wipe out leveraged positions and shift the mood heading into February.

Gold price tumbles nearly 9% after Warsh Fed pick; silver hit by record plunge

NEW YORK, Jan 30, 2026, 13:36 EST — Regular session Gold prices tumbled on Friday and were poised for their biggest one-day fall since 1983, as investors took profits after U.S. President Donald Trump named former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh as his choice to run the central bank. Spot gold was down 8.9% at $4,915.17 an ounce by 12:30 p.m. ET, while U.S. gold futures slid 7.7% to $4,940.70; silver sank 21.92% to $90.66. Standard Chartered’s Suki Cooper said “expectations for real yields” — inflation-adjusted bond returns — and the dollar helped trigger the profit-taking, while the World Gold Council’s Joe Cavatoni said gold is increasingly viewed as “a strategic portfolio allocation.”

Gold price dives below $5,000, silver breaks $100 as Trump’s Fed chair pick nears

Gold price dives below $5,000, silver breaks $100 as Trump’s Fed chair pick nears

Gold and silver sank on Friday, snapping a month-long surge, as traders positioned for President Donald Trump’s expected announcement on who will lead the U.S. Federal Reserve next. The move matters because the rally in precious metals has been tied to a weak dollar and bets that U.S. policy would stay loose. With Kevin Warsh widely seen as the front-runner, the U.S. currency and Treasury yields rose, undercutting bullion’s appeal. The “dollar debasement” trade — buying gold as a hedge against the currency losing value — went into reverse.

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

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.

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

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

London, January 29, 2026, 11:11 — 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

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

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. 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 Jerome Powell noted, “The economy has once again surprised us with its strength,” a statement that dimmed hopes for rapid, easy monetary policy moves.

Gold breaks $5,300 as safe-haven rush lifts silver; India weighs import duty hike

Gold broke through $5,300 for the first time on Wednesday as the U.S. dollar slid toward a near four-year low ahead of the Federal Reserve’s policy decision. Spot gold hit a record $5,311.31 and was trading around $5,305, while silver was at about $115 after touching $117.69 earlier this week. Kelvin Wong, a senior market analyst at OANDA, pointed to gold’s “very strong” inverse link to the dollar, while Tastylive’s Ilya Spivak said markets were “getting defensive” before Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaks later in the day. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/golds-blistering-rally-continues-past-5200-dollar-plunges-4-year-low-2026-01-28/ The surge is already rippling through India, where gold and silver jumped to record highs in the spot market on Tuesday, tracking global gains during the long weekend. Gold traded above 160,000 rupees per 10 grams and silver above 360,000 rupees per kg, with futures on India’s Multi Commodity Exchange also near peaks before easing late in the session. “Silver now derives nearly two-thirds of its demand from industrial uses,” Kotak Mutual Fund wrote, flagging strong consumption from sectors such as solar, electronics and electric vehicles alongside tight supply. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/for-havens-sake-gold-silver-continue-to-rally/articleshow/127663838.cms
