In one of the week’s most volatile sessions, spot silver fell about ~10%, then clawed back losses and was up more than 2% near $73/oz (around 11:30 p.m. ET in the timeline you referenced).

On the futures side (New York), prices were cited around $72.34/oz after a sharp intraday drop.

Rather than treating this as a simple “guess the low” game, the market is increasingly framing it as a re-pricing phase driven by de-risking, leverage unwinds, and speculative flows.

On February 2, 2026, President Donald Trump announced a new U.S. initiative to establish a strategic stockpile of critical minerals branded Project Vault with a stated size of $12 billion. The goal is to cushion U.S. manufacturers against supply disruptions and reduce dependence on China across key mineral supply chains.

What makes Project Vault economically interesting is its market-oriented design: instead of a purely government-run reserve, it aims to use large-scale financing to buy, store, and provide access to critical minerals for participating companies functioning like a supply-chain “insurance layer” that can be activated when markets tighten.

Following a phone call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, U.S. President Donald Trump said the two countries had reached a trade agreement and would “immediately” reduce tariffs, cutting a so-called reciprocal U.S. tariff rate from 25% to 18%. The announcement was posted on Truth Social.

Gold extended its sharp decline into the first session of the week, as the market was hit by a double shock: higher margin requirements for precious-metals contracts on the CME, and a shift in U.S. monetary-policy expectations tied to upcoming changes around the Federal Reserve Chair.

Spot gold fell 7.3% to $4,537/oz as of 09:36 GMT, after sliding more than 10% at one point during the session to its lowest level in over three weeks. Just days earlier, gold had set an all-time high near $5,598/oz, underscoring how volatility is widening to extreme levels.

CME Group announced on Saturday that it would raise margin requirements for metals contracts, with the changes taking effect after the market close on Monday. Margin for COMEX gold futures (1 ounce) will be increased from 6% to 8%, while COMEX silver 5000 (SI) will rise to 15% from 11%. Platinum and...

President Donald Trump said on January 30 that he will nominate Kevin Warsh to serve as the next Chair of the Federal Reserve, succeeding Jerome Powell when the current chair’s term ends in May.
What moved markets wasn’t just a change at the top it was a shift in expectations for the interest-rate path and the Fed’s policy messaging at a time when inflation remains a key concern, growth is showing signs of cooling, and political scrutiny of the central bank is elevated.

On 27 January 2026, the European Union (EU) and India reached a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) after nearly two decades of negotiations widely described as the “mother of all deals.” What has captured investors’ attention, however, is not merely the headline tariff cuts, but the broader geo-economic signal: as the United States increasingly uses tariffs as a policy lever, major economies are re-wiring trade linkages to reduce Washington-driven “policy risk.”

This article examines the agreement through a macro–market–asset strategy lens, and explains why President Donald Trump’s reaction (or silence) has become a critical variable.
