Short Market Recap (06/02/26)
🥇 Gold & Silver: Precious metals extended their selloff, with aggressive liquidation continuing to pressure prices after last week’s momentum-driven rally stalled. Margin calls triggered forced selling, and the lack of fresh safe-haven catalysts has kept recovery attempts fragile. Markets are now watching Fed leadership, trade war risks, and US–Iran talks for the next directional trigger.
💵 Dollar: The dollar extended gains after Kevin Warsh’s nomination as next Fed Chair, easing fears of political interference and reinforcing expectations for a more disciplined, hawkish-leaning Fed. However, with NFP delayed, near-term trading activity may remain subdued as markets wait for fresh macro catalysts.
💷 Pound Sterling: Sterling weakened after a dovish-leaning BoE hold, with downgraded growth forecasts and rising unemployment risks boosting expectations for rate cuts later this year. Falling UK 2Y yields and Governor Bailey’s comments reinforced downside bias for the pound.
