    Gold markets hit historic heights amid economic policy uncertainty

    The most recent trading sessions have showcased gold’s resilience and volatility. Following a sharp decline of $45 per troy ounce in spot gold and a $63 drop in April futures on Friday, February 14, the market demonstrated strong recovery momentum. After the Presidents’ Day holiday closure, Tuesday’s trading saw spot gold gain $36.97, and the April futures contract gaining $60.70, nearly reaching the record levels established on February 12.

    Silver breaks above $33.45

    After briefly dipping to $32.66 last week, silver has regained the $33.45 pivot, which now serves as near-term support. The level is seen as a trigger for momentum trades, and a sustained move above it could drive a retest of the recent high at $34.24. A breakout above that zone would open the path toward resistance between $34.87 and $35.40. Conversely, a failure to hold $33.45 could expose the downside to the $32.53–$31.81 retracement range.

    Gold, Silver, and Platinum down

    Gold prices eased on Thursday, pressured by a firmer U.S. dollar, as investor worries eased temporarily after President Donald Trump said he did not plan to oust Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

    Spot gold was down 0.6% at $3,335.77 per ounce, as of 0958 GMT. U.S. gold futures fell 0.8% to $3,331.30.

    Yesterday, gold prices rose on the back of these rumours, which were unfounded. Since the rumours were quelled, prices have been falling,” said Nitesh Shah, commodities strategist at WisdomTree.

    I think if we come out of (the tariff deadline of) August 1 with much better trade deals, then that could be gold price-negative,” Shah said.

    Spot silver fell 0.4% to $37.77 per ounce. Platinum lost 0.3% to $1,412.78 and palladium eased 0.6% to $1,223.03.
