Gold and silver rebound, pulling global mining stocks and precious metal ETFs higher
Gold and silver prices rebounded on Tuesday after suffering a historic sell-off, pulling global stocks and funds linked to the metals higher.

Spot silver rose over 6% to trade at around $84.29 per ounce. Silver futures were up nearly 10% at $84.12 The moves marked a slight recovery from a decline on Monday that came after a fall of nearly 10% for gold on Friday, and a 30% collapse in silver prices that marked the metal’s worst one-day performance since 1980. Mining stocks and exchange-traded funds listed across the globe also notched gains, as the metals continued to rise Tuesday. London-listed mining giants notched gains on Tuesday, with Rio Tinto up 2.2%, Anglo American up more than 3%, and Antofagasta jumping 2.5%.

Silver and gold extend losses after last week's historic plunge
Silver and gold fell on Monday, extending losses after a major selloff at the end of last week.
Silver futures ticked down 0.3% to $78.70. Silver, which had surged alongside gold on safe haven demand and speculative inflows, dove 28% on Friday for its worst day since March 1980.
Gold futures slid more than 3% to around $4,707. The yellow metal dropped nearly 10% on Friday, sending prices below the $5,000 an ounce mark.
The metals swung between gains and losses in Monday's choppy trading day. The CME Group increased margin requirements following the steep sell-off last week, effective Monday after market close. Margins on COMEX gold futures have been raised to 8% from 6%, while those on the COMEX 5,000-ounce silver futures were lifted to 15% from 11%. Metals saw a violent reversal on Friday as optimism around U.S. interest-rate cuts collided with a sudden reassessment of Federal Reserve leadership after President Donald Trump nominated former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh to succeed Chair Jerome Powell after his term ends in May. "The 'Buy America' trade is back as a result, and the independence bid that drove gold and silver to nosebleed record heights right below $5,600 and $122 per ounce early Thursday morning is unraveling," José Torres, senior economist at Interactive Brokers, said in a note on Monday. Christopher Forbes, head of Asia and the Middle East at CMC Markets, said gold's sharp retreat reflects a classic correction after an extraordinary rally rather than a breakdown in the longer-term bullish thesis.
Gold's retreat is a "classic air-pocket after an extraordinary run," Forbes said. "Profit-taking, a firmer dollar, and fresh geopolitical headlines from Washington have knocked froth off a crowded trade."
The dollar index, which measures the strength of the greenback against a basket of currencies, has strengthened about 0.8% since Thursday. A stronger dollar makes greenback-priced gold less attractive for foreign buyers, while higher rates raise the opportunity cost of holding the non-interest-paying yellow metal by making Treasurys more attractive as a safe haven. Warsh has been an advocate of a tighter monetary policy, and his announcement as Fed chair has strengthened the dollar. At the same time, Trump's statements indicating a possible deal with Iran appear to have eased geopolitical concerns — WTI crude futures were down about 4% on Monday. In the near term, gold prices will remain elevated but volatile as markets await further clarity on Warsh's policy direction, Forbes said.
Silver prices are still up around 16% since the start of the year, while gold prices are also about 8% higher year to date. Gold and silver both saw record-smashing rallies last year, surging about 65% and 145%, respectively. "Renewed dollar weakness or confirmation of a dovish Warsh would bring dip-buyers back," said Forbes, who still maintains a bullish case for bullion in the longer 12 month horizon, adding that the metal can revisit recent highs, if the Fed continues easing while growth and inflation stay uneven. #gold #silver #XAUUSD $XAU $XAG
Everyone talks about indicators. Smart traders talk about timing.
Markets don’t move the same way all day — liquidity rotates, volatility clusters, and institutions show up at specific hours. If you’re trading outside those windows, you’re often trading against the flow.
The Truth About Trading Sessions
🌏 Asian Session
Low volatility. Tight ranges.
👉 Purpose: Liquidity buildup, not trends.
Most breakouts here are traps.
🌍 London Session Volume enters. Structure shifts. 👉 Purpose: Expansion. Asian highs/lows are hunted. Real trends often start here. 🌎 New York Session
Volatility spikes. News hits. 👉 Purpose: Continuation or reversal.
London moves either extend — or get completely faded. The Golden Window Most Traders Miss
🔥 London–New York Overlap
This is when: Liquidity peaks Breakouts actually follow through Institutions execute size If you trade momentum, this is prime time.
Crypto Isn’t Random — It’s Scheduled Yes, crypto trades 24/7. But smart money doesn’t. BTC & ETH make their most meaningful moves: At London open At NY open During session overlaps Around macro news
Most traders focus on indicators. Smart traders focus on timing.
Markets do not move the same all day. Liquidity rotates and volatility appears at specific hours. Trading outside those windows often means trading against the flow.
Asian session brings low volatility and range building. Most breakouts are traps.
London session brings volume and expansion. Asian highs and lows are often taken and real trends begin.
New York session brings volatility and news. London moves either continue or reverse.
The most important window is the London New York overlap. Liquidity peaks and breakouts follow through. Institutions execute size here.
Crypto trades 24 7 but smart money does not. BTC and ETH move most at London open, New York open, session overlaps, and macro news.
Timing does not replace strategy. It amplifies it. Trade when liquidity is alive. Ignore the rest

Silver Rates Fall First Time In 5 Days; But Silver Prices In Chennai, Hyderabad, Kerala Still Above.
Silver rates in India crashed significantly, sending a shockwave towards metal stocks and commodity market on January 30. 1Kg silver dropped for the first time in five days, with price pulling back from Rs 4 lakh mark. However, in cities like Chennai, Hyderabad and Kerala, silver is still priced above Rs 4 lakh per 1Kg. The reason behind the latest sharp downfall in silver is due to profit booking and substantial rebound in dollar.
1Kg silver price tumbled by Rs 15,000 to Rs 3,95,000 on January 30, while 100 grams and 10 grams silver dipped by Rs 1,500 and Rs 150 to Rs 39,500 and Rs 3,950 respectively. Despite the latest decline, silver rates are still on the path to give more than 65% returns in January 2026.
Powell dismisses gold’s rally above $5,300, says Fed is not losing credibility
(Kitco News) - The entire world has been captivated by gold’s and silver’s surging momentum as prices hit record high after record high; however, the Federal Reserve Chair is not very impressed with the precious metals’ accomplishments.
Many analysts have attributed gold’s and silver’s unprecedented start to the new year, in part, to growing uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve’s political independence; however, during his monetary policy press conference, Powell dismissed those concerns.
“The argument can be made that we are losing credibility, but that simply is not the case. If you look at wherein flation expectations are, our credibility is right where it needs to be,” he said. “We don't get spun up over particular asset change prices, although we do monitor them, of course.
Powell made the comments after the Federal Reserve decided to leave the federal funds rate in a range between 3.50% and 3.75% following its first monetary policy meeting of the year. The decision was in line with economists' expectations. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets don’t see the next rate cut until June.
While Powell has been fairly quick to dismiss the precious metals’ historic rally, the same can be said for the gold market, which has largely ignored Powell's comments as he walked a fairly neutral line.
He said that both upside risks to inflation and downside risks to the labor market have eased.
“We think we are well-positioned here to watch how the economy unfolds,” he said.
At the same time, Powell also kept the door open for a potential rate hike. #gold #XAUUSD #silver #XAGUSDT实操指南 $XAU
