Gold rates and silver rates in India crashed on February 5, 2026, tracking steep selling pressure of international gold prices after Federal Reserve cautioned on more rate cuts ahead. Fed governor Lisa Cook signalled that she would not support a rate cut until price pressures ease. She is concerned about stalled inflation progress rather than a cooling labour market. This pushed dollar higher against a basket of currencies, and appetite for safe haven dimmed.
MCX gold price crashed below Rs 1.50 lakh levels, while MCX silver struggled around Rs 2.40 lakh to Rs 2.50 lakh levels. Silver took the most beating. Spot silver is down over 12% and MCX silver dropped nearly 9%. While spot gold and MCX gold crashed by around 2% each, loosing pivotal levels.

This, combined with President Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed chair, seen as more hawkish than other contenders, led markets to price at a slower pace of potential rate cuts. However, Trump said he wouldn't have nominated Warsh if he favored rate hikes and sees little doubt the Fed will cut rates again. Elsewhere, US-Iran tensions lingered despite plans for nuclear talks in Oman on Friday, with Washington not ruling out strikes. Earlier this week, gold surged more than 6%, marking its largest intraday rise since 2008, fueled by dip-buying, as per Trading Economics.
