On 2026 02 01 in India, gold and silver circuit breaks occurred, and Indian sellers initiated gold and silver price declines.

Gold and silver have stopped moving on fundamentals. Now, it seems changes in interest rate expectations, dollar strength, and risk sentiment, are causing aggressive movements in the metals complex. The every macro headline (central bank signals, expectations of liquidity, geopolitical concerns, etc.), is making gold and silver reactive instruments of short-term volatility, rather than steady safe havens. In the current scenario, clarity regarding rates and liquidity is needed if these sharp movements and reversals, along with increased risk, are to be contained. In the absence of these, precious metals must be expected to continue showing these movements. $XAU ,$XAG
The U.S. federal government is in the midst of a shutdown. Closed federal offices, government employees furloughed, national parks and museums closed, and administrative and regulatory functions on hold. This is a not a minor inconvenience. This is a massive disruption. This will result in billions of lost productivity and further political uncertainty and risk. The situation is not just bad; it is a sign of institutional gridlock affecting the world’s largest economy. The consequences extend far beyond Washington. Confidence in the economy will decrease, public services will slow, and market volatility will increase. For the time being, all we can do is wait, and lose confidence, until Monday. Risk assets will be watching the shutdown, and how rapidly it is resolved will signal to the world confidence in the government and the economy. The shutdown is a signal, and a dangerous one at that. $BTC ,$XAU ,$XAG
Due to rampant speculation, smuggling distortions, supply hold-ups, sky-high prices in China, and global delivery issues, Silver is experiencing extreme volatility with prices jumping up and down. Silver usually makes much larger moves than gold whenever there is climbing industrial demand, especially with the solar sector, for limited supply and aggressive speculation. This makes Silver a critical component for short-term market movements. $XAG , $XAU
I am monitoring market prices and sense something is off. Gold is $283 higher in Mumbai than New York. Silver has a $13 difference between Hong Kong and London. A functional market would have these gaps closed by arbitrage bots in seconds. Easy money does not sit. When it does, it is a sign that something is off. The gaps in the market signal that there is a shortage of liquidity, and that the prices on the screens are drifting from the actual prices for the metals. When the behavior of the market changes like this, it is a signal that something is off. Gold and silver are the last real anchors of the system and when they start behaving like this, it means that there is a lot of stress that is building up in the system. This scenario is typically followed by a lot of forced selling of assets. I have a decade of experience in studying markets and have been able to predict a lot of major up and down turns in markets. I am seeing the same things again looking toward 2026. Don’t be the last person to be left with the risk the system has. $XAU $XAG
The Union Budget for 2026-27 has been released, which has led to an immediate and substantial depreciation of gold and silver. Following the budget announcement, gold and silver triggered their trading circuit limits due to massive and immediate dumping. Most Importantly, India is a major importer of gold and silver. Therefore, it can be deduced that the depreciation of gold and silver has, and will continue to, impact the global markets significantly. $XAU , $XAG
The last big Financial Crisis started with a lot of gold as a safe haven. It took 6 years after that gold peaked to the Financial Crisis to start the defaults. Something similar, but more aggravated, is what the data is showing today. With gold, silver, platinum, and palladium together rising, it is a safe bet it is most likely not a commodity rally to the normal healthy cycle. When the market is told that growth is to be expected, gold does not spike. When the market is told to expect stability, silver does not rise. This was the environment before 2008, and the default triggers then were on the long dated mortgages. Today, the default triggers are on the long dated sovereign debt. Stress build is historical, and the 2008 stress was the move towards the USD. Today, it is the move away from the USD. The USD has not been the risk bear anymore, and as a method of funding, it is being faded. This is when the investment is made towards real assets. Another point is that today, real assets with real counter risks are rising, and with them the gold and silver. The central banks are being net buyers of real assets, unlike the last global debt catastrophe. It is the USD that is the risk today unlike the last global debt catastrophe. The starting point is no more panic, instead it is the snow ball effects that the system has finally lost a lot of the flexibility. $XAU , $XAG
Gold and silver really took a tumble yesterday. Then this pops up: JP Morgan closed shorts at the exact low. Perfect timing… as usual. You think that's luck, or do you think its something else? $XAU , $XAG
🚨This decision by Trump could very well ruin Canada
Trump has recently put Canada on notice regarding substantial tariffs, such as a 50% tariff on Canadian planes and potential 100% tariffs on all goods if Canada trades with China. This has sparked concerns of large scale disruptions with Canada’s economy as the U.S. is Canada’s biggest trade ally and key trade sectors like, aerospace, manufacturing and agriculture are particularly vulnerable.
Gold dropped about 11-12%, one of the largest declines in recent years. Silver was down as much as 36% intraday, an extreme and historic event for a precious metal. This is not an ordinary pullback. It is one of the biggest one day drops in the history of gold and silver, right after gold and silver hit an all time high. The reasons behind this crash are: • Change in monetary policy & expectation of rate cuts after a Big Fed event • Strengthened dollar causing a decrease in demand for gold and silver. • Classic cascade: profit taking, position liquidation, and futures, & ETF forced selling. Conclusion: Gold and silver are in a crash cycle, not a correction, feeding the risk-off tendencies building in the market. $XAU $XAG
Dear traders , $XAU and $XAG prices fell steeply as markets swiftly adjusted their predictions for interest rates and the value of the U.S. dollar. A possible Warsh-led Fed is characterized as more hawkish on inflation and tightening if price pressures persist; that sentiment pushed yields higher and the dollar stronger. That is often a headwind for precious metals: higher yields increase the opportunity cost of owning non-yielding assets like gold and silver, and a stronger dollar means it is more expensive to buy them for foreign buyers. Consequently, traders decreased hedges and safe-haven exposure, leading to a rapid, momentum-based decline rather than a gradual decline based on fundamentals.
Trump's choice of Kevin Warsh to be the next Fed Chair has become a new market influence, and Warsh's Fed is driving the market to rethink the interest rate trajectory, the rate of inflation, and the strength of the dollar. With the announcement, Wall Street fears of monetary policy uncertainty returned and stocks fell as the market attempted to estimate the potential swell of liquidity and the rate cut Warsh Fed. Gold and silver fell sharply in response to the expectation of higher interest rates and a stronger dollar. The Fed chair is in control of the most powerful market lever, and even a new tone of voice from the top sends ripples to equities, bonds, currencies, and commodities.
Global traders have been speculating against the Federal Reserve once again as Powell continues to stress ‘data dependent decisions’ while being cautious about the progress with inflation. That said, there seems to be a growing gap between the expectations of the market and the rate of the Fed. With multiple rate cuts being predicted, Powell seems to be misguiding the market. With rate cuts being expected, and investing being done, a historical paradox could arise. If the predicted data is not available, there is bound to be a great deal of uncertainty. Such rate expectations have been historically proven to be inaccurate. In the current situation, the great paradox of investing is being witnessed Traders seem to be highly optimistic while the Federal Reserve seems to be averse to committing any rate cuts.
Liquidly is the only true market driver, not rate cuts. Rate cuts do not equal more money going into risk assets, and even Powell is lowing the market’s expectations on how much money is going to be injected into the economy. Rate cuts will do nothing if banks are not lending. The market is fully predicting rate cuts, and risk assets are unmoved. Only low rates and loose lending will drive the risk market.
In the past, the first rate cut usually creates some volatility as the markets have to adjust their expectations. It’s actually the second cut, when the tightening cycle is definitively over, that crypto and other risk assets have historically done better as there is clear evidence that the tightening is done and that easing has started. Based on Powell’s speech where the Fed emphasized being data dependent, and the caution regarding the rush to cut, markets are now expecting little easing. If the Fed actually does a first cut and then quickly follows it with a second cut, that is when the liquidity conditions start to loosen and the more speculative assets get a boost.
Traders seemed eager to hear about rate cuts, despite Powell not mentioning them. His message was clear, inflation progress is not guaranteed, policy must remain tight, and the data will drive the decisions. He appears to be waiting on the markets to start moving, while the markets moved on policy restrictions. Powell signaled the markets to ease patience, while he worried about inflation. The disconnect between Powell and the traders calls for a period of volatility before any trend can be established.
Both a hawk pause and a dove pause mean the Federal Reserve is holding rates, but the tone tells the story and it is hawkish leaning right now. The most recent Fed commentary has stated that inflation is still the job market is still strong so cuts are not coming. Even though rates are not rising, the Fed is not signaling a quick pivot either. That creates a hawkish pause; the markets are told to wait and not to celebrate an easing. In this case, traders tend to see very little movement or choppy risk assets until confirmation of real easing.
🚨 Markets went all in, pricing three rate cuts this year.
An appreciation in Powell’s optimism is short-lived. Powell’s tone was purposeful and patient, which signals the Fed is in no rush. The markets might have miscalculated. If the forecast changes from three cuts to one, the first reaction will not be relief. It will be to buy and sell.
Donald Trump has formally nominated Kevin Warsh to be the next Chair of the Federal Reserve, replacing Jerome Powell when his term ends in May 2026.
Warsh isn’t an unknown — he’s a former Fed governor (2006–2011) with deep experience in monetary policy and financial markets.
Here’s why markets care:
📌 Shift in Fed leadership.
This ends months of speculation and signals a new era in U.S. monetary policy.
📌 Rate outlook could change.
Warsh has been critical of the Fed’s pacing on rate cuts and aligned with Trump’s calls for lower rates, potentially boosting risk assets if cuts accelerate.
📌 Fed independence under focus.
Warsh’s nomination comes amid political pressure on the central bank — a dynamic markets will watch closely for volatility.
📌 Treasury & markets reacting.
Early moves show yields and the dollar are sensitive to leadership direction ahead of policy decisions.
