Switerlands gold exports reach highest since 2022

Over the last two months, 12.9 million troy ounces (401 metric tons) of gold were delivered to COMEX-approved warehouses, raising stocks there by 73.5% to 30.4 million ounces, the highest since July 2022.

According to the Swiss data, gold deliveries from the country to the U.S. rose to 64.2 tons in December from 3.3 tons in the last month of 2023. In March 2022, when global markets were grappling with immediate consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Switzerland exported 81.5 tons of gold to the U.S.

    Silver falls but stays the same

    The silver market has been somewhat sideways over the last few weeks, but the Wednesday session could provide enough information to get people moving again.

    Silver fell in the early hours of Wednesday as we have tested the crucial $33 level again. This is an area that of course has been like a magnet for price for some time.

    Talks between the United States and China are seemingly a thing now, and that, of course, will help the idea of industrial demand for silver, but it takes away that precious metal trade as well.

    Gold and Silver are trying to stabilize after selloff

    Although gold and silver saw disappointing price action on Friday, experiencing their worst daily loss since mid-December, some analysts note that the damage to the broad rallies has been limited.

    The gold market started the week holding initial support around $2,880 an ounce. Spot gold last traded at $2,896.50 an ounce, up 0.50% on the day. Silver is also finding solid support, as it has bounced off its overnight lows just below $32 an ounce. Spot silver last traded at $32.20 an ounce, up 0.20% on the day.

    Alex Kuptsikevich, Chief Market Analyst at FxPro, said in a note that gold’s price action has become a little more complicated following Friday’s selloff, as buyers have become more cautious.

    Gold and Silver forecast

    Gold (XAU/USD) rose sharply during the Asian session on Thursday, reaching $3,126.67, as global markets reacted to renewed trade tensions. 

    Silver (XAG/USD) is trading at $33.28, having touched a session low of $33.07. Despite gold’s upward momentum, silver’s response has been more restrained, weighed down by its industrial use case.

    Silver price strengthens dollar

    Silver price (XAG/USD) hits a fresh weekly high to near $33.20 during North American trading hours on Wednesday. The white metal strengthens as the US Dollar (USD) extends its downside on the United States (US) credit rating erosion in the wake of large debt levels and escalated fiscal imbalances.

    Technically, a soft US Dollar makes the Silver price a value bet for investors. Additionally, concerns over US credit erosion improve the safe-haven demand of non-yielding assets, such as Silver.

    JP Morgan analyst on gold

    After a strong run for precious metals, gold mining shares still look undervalued.

    That’s the view from JP Morgan’s latest note on listed producers, which argues there’s room for substantial upside, especially if its bullish forecast for the precious metal proves right.

    Its commodities team is pencilling in a price of $4,100 an ounce for 2026. That’s well above current spot levels of $3,320 and would mark a new all-time high.

    Based on that estimate, JP Morgan sees around 40–50 per cent upside to average analyst expectations for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation across the sector.

    Gold and Silver in demand

    “The uncertainty over US tariffs is pushing investors toward safe-haven assets like gold,” said Michael Hewson, Chief Market Analyst at CMC Markets.

    The weaker US Dollar, coupled with uncertainties surrounding US trade policies, is supporting silver’s bullish momentum.

    Gold (XAU/USD) is trading at $2,940.57, showing a modest gain of +0.07%.

    Silver (XAG/USD) is trading at $32.68, slightly down by -0.03%.
