As of Monday morning, gold prices have been unable to hold gains above $5,000 an ounce. This is because most markets are closed for the start of the new business week. Gold prices rose to a session high of around $5,032 an ounce overnight, but they weren’t able to keep going up because Chinese markets were closed for the week to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Since its overnight highs, there has been steady but quiet selling pressure on the valuable metal. Analysts don’t think there will be any big changes on Monday because it is Presidents’ Day and U.S.…

Highlights Gold holds higher value because scarcity, preserved above ground supply, and limited annual production create structural price strength compared to silver. Central banks accumulate gold as a reserve asset, which increases sovereign demand and reinforces long term monetary credibility. Silver depends heavily on industrial demand such as electronics and solar energy, which increases volatility during economic slowdowns. Gold functions primarily as a store of value and inflation hedge, while silver operates as both industrial commodity and investment asset. Market psychology strengthens gold’s premium because investors associate gold with safety, stability, and wealth preservation. The gold to silver ratio reflects…

Yes, you can mix silver and gold jewelry, and modern fashion aesthetics not only allow the combination but actively encourage strategic layering of contrasting metal tones. Gold jewelry provides warmth and luminosity, while silver jewelry delivers cool sophistication and reflective neutrality. When combined intentionally, silver and gold jewelry create visual depth, balance, and contemporary elegance. Successful mixing depends on metal undertones, skin tone compatibility, jewelry proportions, design cohesion, and styling structure. Why Does Mixing Silver and Gold Jewelry Work in Modern Fashion? Mixing silver and gold jewelry works because contrast generates visual interest, and contrast strengthens aesthetic harmony when guided…

Friday, the prices of gold and silver fell because President Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve. This seemed to calm worries about the independence of the central bank and send the dollar skyrocketing. With an ounce of silver worth $83.45, it was down 28% from the day’s high. Silver prices fell 31.4% and ended the day at $78.53. This was the worst day for them since March 1980. The sharp drops started when news came out that Warsh had been nominated. But in the afternoon U.S. trading, they picked up speed as buyers…

As a result of a broad selloff that affected many asset classes Thursday morning, precious metals saw sharp drops. Analysts believe this was due to forced liquidation rather than fundamental reasons. Gold dropped $163, or 3.21%, to $4,921, and silver fell $9, or 10.73%, to $75.22. Between 11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. EST, prices fell sharply, the most in a single day since January 29, when gold lost almost $500 and silver lost 26% of its value. Companies like Nvidia and Alphabet were already losing value as early as 9:00 a.m. EST, which is where the selloff started in the…

GOLD and SILVER prices became less volatile on Tuesday after undoing one-half and one-fourth of last week’s historic price drops, respectively. This came after prices surged to multi-year highs. Gold’s price closed today with a range of less than $70 between its high and low points above $5,000 an ounce. This was the narrowest range seen during the week since Monday, January 19. In the meantime, silver went from a high of $80 an ounce to a low of $2.40 an ounce above that price. It was trading in its narrowest Dollar range since Christmas Day, but it still went…

GOLD and SILVER fell at the start of trade in New York on Wednesday. One major US bank said that they were risking a “bubble,” and the drop undid the day’s strong gains after the US jobs report in January ended a string of bad data from the world’s largest economy. A week ago, the Dollar hit a one-week low on the DXY index against other rich-economy currencies. It then jumped back up almost ¥0.1 against the Chinese Yuan after the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that non-farm payrolls added almost twice as many jobs as analysts had predicted last…

The price of gold has fluctuated wildly in recent days. After a year of skyrocketing value, the yellow metal hit a record high of $5,500 an ounce last week. However, the price of gold fell more than 9% on Friday, the most in a single day since 1983, and then fell even further on Monday. It increased by almost 5% on Tuesday after a minor rebound, and that increase persisted into Wednesday. Its price is still over 75% greater than it was at the same time last year, even with the recent declines. What’s happening, then? What caused the most…

Some computer games in the 1990s had a “boss key” that let people open an Excel spreadsheet if they needed to look busy. Now, if a worker is seen working on a spreadsheet, their supervisor might not like it. Microsoft owns Excel, which is 40 years old. Some IT leaders think it’s, at best, a hindrance to easier digital workflows and AI, and at worst, an accident waiting to happen. In the business world, Excel is everywhere. Acuity Training’s study shows that two-thirds of office workers use Excel at least once each hour. Tom Wilkie, chief technology officer of data…

Why Did Trump’s Announcement Cause Market Turmoil in Precious Metals? Donald Trump’s recent announcement regarding a potential return to a gold-backed currency system caused an immediate and dramatic impact on global commodities. The suggestion, framed within a broader critique of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, sent a wave of uncertainty through investor sentiment, prompting mass selloffs in both gold and silver markets. A statement of this magnitude from a former U.S. president, especially one with ongoing political influence and previous economic interventionist tendencies, was interpreted as a signal of potential instability in fiat-based valuations, leading to volatility spikes across metals…
