Gold, silver rate LIVE updates: Whole commodities market in deep red
On the global front, commodities markets slumped on Monday, led by deep losses in gold, silver, oil and industrial metals, as a selloff unleashed by President Donald Trump’s selection of Kevin Warsh as the next US Fed chair sent precious metals tumbling for a second session.
Losses spilt over into equity markets as investors ditched other assets to cover any precious metals losses. Global stocks fell for a third straight day, led by steep declines across Asia and in Europe, where basic resources stocks came under heavy fire.
Gold slid 5% to its lowest in more than two weeks, while silver fell more than 7%. Both metals hit records last week.

Gold, silver rate LIVE updates: Triggers for the precious metal selloff
Gold and silver extended falls on Monday after CME Group raised margin requirements following a sharp selloff in precious metals last week on U.S. President Donald Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh to be the next Federal Reserve chair.
Spot gold logged its sharpest one-day drop since 1983 on Friday with a fall of more than 9%, and had lost a further 3.6% to $4,686.51 per ounce by 0504 GMT. U.S. gold futures for April delivery were down 0.8% at $4,707.60 per ounce.
Spot silver plunged 27% in the previous session in its worst daily fall on record and has lost an additional 6.7% to $78.96 an ounce on Monday. “The Warsh nomination, whilst likely being the initial trigger, did not justify the size of the downward move in precious metals, with forced liquidations and margin increases having a cascading effect,” said KCM Chief Trade Analyst Tim Waterer.

Gold, silver rate LIVE updates: How global shares are being affected by precious metal prices?
Global shares fell on Monday, as a sudden, massive selloff in precious metals forced investors to ditch other assets to cover any losses, right ahead of a week packed with corporate earnings, central bank meetings and major economic data.
Silver was headed for its biggest two-day loss since at least the 1980s, falling another 7% on top of Friday’s 30% plunge. Dealers said pressure on a number of silver futures funds in China added to the rout late last week, which was exacerbated on Monday by the CME raising margins on a number of futures contracts, including silver and gold.
Oil prices also fell more than 4% as President Donald Trump said over the weekend Iran was “seriously talking” with Washington, perhaps lessening the risk of a U.S. military strike on the country.

Gold, silver rate LIVE updates: Why is Gold and Silver plummeting globally?
The silver price had more than doubled in six weeks to a record $121.64 an ounce on January 29, in an unprecedented rally fuelled by investor appetite for non-dollar assets and retail traders’ enthusiasm for juicy returns, amid a global shortage of physical metal relative to demand.
“There’s been a massive retail frenzy getting into these markets; we’ve had record turnover in options markets related to silver products,” Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, said. Hansen added that anyone selling options that give the holder the right to buy silver would have had to own a long position in the silver themselves, in some form.
“Once the market suddenly flips around you, you’re left with a massive need to get out of it in a hurry because the reason for holding (that position) has disappeared,” he said.
Spot gold, which had also hit a record $5,594.82 an ounce last week, was down 5%. A lot of the pressure has come from the Chinese commodities market, where trading in silver futures had to be suspended due to extreme volatility.
The knock-on effect on Asian equities led MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan to drop nearly 3%, while Japan’s Nikkei fell 1.3% ahead of Sunday’s lower house election.
Nerves in the broader stock market, as evidenced by another spike in the VIX volatility index, were already running high ahead of earnings this week from the likes of Alphabet, Amazon and AMD, as investors wait to see if the billions pouring into artificial intelligence will start to yield returns.
