Gold and Silver Surge Amid Market Volatility: A Precious Metal Revival

Gold and silver prices bounced back dramatically amid market volatility on Tuesday, recovering from steep losses over the past few days. The rally put gold on course for its largest daily gain since November 2008, fueled by bargain hunters and strong underlying fundamentals.

Spot gold soared 5.1% to $4,901.75 per ounce by 09:36 a.m. ET, rebounding from Monday's low but remaining under last week's historic high. April U.S. gold futures climbed 5.9%, while silver surged 9.4% following a significant decline last week. Analysts cited the recent drop as part of a corrective phase within a broader long-term uptrend.

Market dynamics shifted with the appointment of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair, influencing investor expectations. Despite higher margin requirements imposed by the CME Group affecting prices, the consensus is that the bull market will persist. Economic and political uncertainties continue to drive this safe haven commodity, suggesting future price increases.
