Globally, gold prices rose 1.4% to $4,386.30 per ounce, while silver surged 10.9%. The rebound followed Monday’s sharp sell-off after the Chicago Mercantile Exchange raised margin requirements for precious metals trading, prompting short-term liquidation.
Prices have since rebounded as geopolitical risks intensified, particularly after the United States launched a military operation in Venezuela, reinforcing gold’s appeal as a hedge against uncertainty. Gold has rallied strongly throughout 2025 amid economic concerns and persistent supply deficits.
Market participants are now turning their attention to US nonfarm payrolls data due on Friday, which could shape expectations for monetary policy. Investors are increasingly pricing in at least two interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year, a backdrop that typically favors non-yielding assets such as gold.
