Precious metals experienced a sharp pullback following their record rally in January 2026. Gold fell approximately 9-11% from its previous day's peak of $5,594, dropping to the $4,800-$5,000 range; silver also saw a 20-30% loss, falling to the $80-$100 level. This pullback stemmed from a strengthened dollar following Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as Fed Chairman, and profit-taking. Nevertheless, metals are still exhibiting their strongest monthly performance since the 1980s; the long-term uptrend is being maintained by geopolitical risks and inflation expectations.
