Today gold and silver are recovering from a sharp loss due to profit booking and mainly a margin hike on silver futures by the CME Group.

As we discussed in yesterday’s article, the fall was short-term, today the safe haven demand has returned because of ongoing global uncertainty.

The gold price for 22k returned to 12,485, and the silver price is also slowly returning; now it’s around 240,000. I will mention carat-wise pricing in the below chart.

International Market Overview

In the international market, gold moved back above $4360 per ounce after a strong fall of more than 4%, and silver moved above 1% to about $73 per ounce, which is felt by 8%.

The expert says, “The silver price on 30 December 2025 is the steepest fall in more than 5 years.”

Analysts view this sharp fall as profit booking after a strong rally, however, the demand has been returned due to geopolitical risks, including ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine and warnings from the United States related to Ukraine and Venezuela.

Despite short-term volatility, gold and silver are getting stronger because of central bank buying, more EFT inflows, US annual rate cuts, and silver industrial demands.
