Stocks Fall, Gold Rallies On Best Day Since 2008: Markets Today - SPDR Gold Shares (ARCA:GLD)

  • On Tuesday, spot gold rose 5.1% to $4,901.75 and silver surged 9.4% to $86.92, after a steep selloff, with bargain-hunters stepping in.
  • After two sessions of heavy selling, markets were pressured by margin hikes as Kevin Warsh's Fed nomination and CME Group's raised margin requirements triggered a steep two-day selloff last week.
  • Silver's 27% drop on Friday and a further 6% decline on Monday preceded a rebound, with Rodda saying, 'The markets endorsed Warsh's nomination by US President Donald Trump as someone relatively credible, and so we saw the dollar move on that basis, and again, that was kind of like the pin that popped the big precious metals.'
  • On Tuesday, in markets, the S&P 500 slipped 0.5% to 6,920, the Nasdaq 100 fell nearly 1.5% to 25,350, and Bitcoin slid more than 3% to around $75,000, while crude oil rose 1.8% to $63 and Chevron gained over 2%.
  • Analysts broadly expect the bull market to continue with fresh record highs likely later this year after gold's nearly 13% January gain and silver hitting $121.64 on Thursday.
