Gold, Silver Rate Today LIVE update: Friday’s selloff is the biggest shock to the rally, outdoing the slump in October.
It was triggered by the dollar rebounding after a report said that US President Donald Trump's administration was preparing to nominate Kevin Warsh for Fed chair, a move later confirmed.
The greenback’s rally undercut sentiment among investors who had been piling into metals after the US president signalled a willingness to let the currency weaken.

Billionaire veteran investor and former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Berkshire Hathaway, who has not been a fan of gold, said that he would take farmland and seven of oil major Exxon Mobil instead of having gold, reported the news portal Economic Times.
Warren Buffett said that if one took all the gold in the world, it would roughly make a cube 67 feet on a side worth somewhere around $7 trillion, marking up to a third of the value of all the stocks in the United States.
“I will say this about gold. If you took all the gold in the world, it would roughly make a cube 67 feet on a side…Now for that same cube of gold, it would be worth at today’s market prices about $7 trillion – that’s probably about a third of the value of all the stocks in the United States,” said Buffett, reported the news portal.
He said that people may call him crazy but he would take farmland and the Exxon Mobils anyday over investments in gold.

Gold, Silver Rate Today LIVE update: Why gold has been hitting new highs
Gold, Silver Rate Today LIVE update: The year 2026 saw gold and silver prices surging to record highs. However, the all-time high prices crashed on Friday. While Gold, which peaked above USD 5,500 per ounce, dropped to around USD 5068.
Here is why the gold prices crashed:
Gold is the classic safe haven: an asset people buy to protect their savings amid financial risks. However, with international political tensions rising, trade war threats, shifting signals about where interest rates are heading and a potential changing world order, investors are seeking assets that feel stable when everything else looks shaky.
Friday's crash in gold and silver was sparked by financial markets reacting to early news of Donald Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as chair of the US Federal Reserve. The US central bank plays a key role in global financial stability.

Gold, Silver Rate Today LIVE update: Why silver prices are soaring: industrial demand, investor interest and supply crunch
While gold dominated headlines for much of 2025, silver has emerged as the stronger performer. Before Friday’s correction, silver prices had jumped over 60 per cent in a month, compared with gold’s roughly 30 per cent rise.
Silver’s strength lies in its dual role. It is both a safe-haven asset and a key industrial metal, with demand surging from clean energy and technology sectors. Silver is essential for solar panels, electric vehicles and semiconductors, making it critical to the energy transition and AI-driven growth.
Around 20 grams of silver are used in each solar panel, with the solar sector accounting for nearly 30 per cent of global demand. EVs require 25 to 50 grams per vehicle, while AI data centres rely on silver-based semiconductors.
At the same time, the market faces a supply deficit for the fifth year in a row, as silver production struggles to keep pace with consumption. With most silver mined as a by-product of other metals, supply cannot be easily increased, prompting both institutional and retail investors to pile into the metal.

Gold, Silver Rate Today LIVE update:Why gold has been hitting new highs recently
Gold remains a traditional safe-haven asset, drawing investors seeking to protect their savings during periods of financial stress. Rising geopolitical tensions, trade war concerns, uncertainty over interest rates and shifts in the global order have pushed investors toward assets seen as more stable.
A sharp fall in gold and silver prices on Friday followed market reaction to early reports of Donald Trump nominating Kevin Warsh as US Federal Reserve chair, highlighting how sensitive precious metals are to policy signals from the world’s key central bank.
Central banks have been aggressively adding gold to their reserves, reinforcing its role as a store of value in uncertain times.

Gold, Silver Rate Today LIVE update: Why silver is falling?
Gold, Silver Rate Today LIVE update: From February 2025 to just before Friday’s sharp sell-off, silver prices had surged 269 per cent. Even before the drop, that rally came with heavy volatility: annualised price swings of about 36 per cent, nearly double gold’s 20 per cent over the same period, according to Conversation UK.
In simple terms, rapid gains also mean sharp reversals. When prices rise quickly, they can fall just as fast.
That makes buying at elevated levels risky. Retail investors who rush in after big rallies often end up near the peak, while institutional investors and central banks typically build positions much earlier, at lower prices.
There is also no income cushion. Unlike shares or bonds, gold and silver pay no dividends or interest. Returns depend entirely on prices rising further, and recent moves underline how steep the downside can be.
