Wall Street dips, gold spot falls

ByVictoria

“We are witnessing a resilient economy … against a backdrop of geopolitical concerns, and an expectation of some sort of chaos down the road,” said Oliver Pursche, senior vice president at Wealthspire Advisors in New York.

Gold reversed its multi-session rally, which was driven by a risk-off flight to safety that drove the precious metal to a record high.

Spot gold fell 0.3% to $2,856.40 an ounce. U.S. gold futures fell 0.39% to $2,860.50 an ounce.

    “Silver is showing signs of relatively higher momentum with the price trying to breach the crucial US$ 33 level,” Emkay said

    Given silver’s diverse industrial applications, its price is projected to rise from its current level, reaching $36.60, $38.70, and $39.30 on COMEX, it said.

    “Investing in silver funds with a 12 to 18 months’ time horizon is likely to be a worthy proposition.”

    The gold-silver ratio is currently around 90, which suggests that silver is currently undervalued.

    Follow up on Stolen Gold Toilet from art exhibit at Blenheim Palace, in Oxfordshire

    There is no evidence a man on trial in connection with the theft of a £4.8m golden toilet knew the gold he was dealing with was stolen, a jury has been told.

    The prosecution said the 41-year-old’s decision not to give evidence meant he failed to answer a number of questions, including what the gold looked like when it was delivered to his jewellers in Hatton Garden.

    “What clear evidence is there that Mr Guccuk did anything wrong or criminal?”

    The history of National Coin Week began in 1923, when American Numismatic Association Governor Julius Guttag suggested to the association’s President, Moritz Wormser, that a week-long event should be established “to attract the general public to our hobby and consequently increase our membership, and aid in our science.” That December, the first announcement of a “Coin Week” was made in The Numismatist and scheduled for the week of February 9-16, 1924.

    In 2026, America will celebrate 250 years of independence. This milestone invites us to reflect on the many ways money and freedom are connected.

    Gold Miners Trapped in Congo Landslide

    A landslide at an informal gold mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo where thousands of people were working has left an unknown number of people trapped underground since Sunday.

    Twelve people have been rescued, Mr. Rubabura said, adding that the number of missing would be released only once the search was over.

    The Lomera site is an artisanal mine, meaning it is not operated by a mining company with professional equipment but by workers who use basic tools to extract ore, often in dangerous conditions.

    On Tuesday, M23 members walked around the site issuing instructions to those who remained, telling them not to film or speak to journalists. There was no sign that a serious search for survivors was underway.
