Precious Metals Pullback: Gold & Silver Consolidate Gains (Feb 11)

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 — Following a week of volatile swings, precious metals are taking a breather. Both Gold and Silver are seeing a pullback today as traders book profits and reassess the Federal Reserve's rate path.

Market Snapshot

1. Gold: COMEX Gold has slipped below the $5,050/oz mark (a key psych level mentioned in J.P. Morgan's 2026 outlook).
2. Silver: Spot prices have retraced to $82.20, giving back some of the gains from the post-flash-crash rally.

The "Consolidation" Narrative

Analysts view this dip as healthy consolidation. After the parabolic moves earlier in 2026 (including Silver hitting $120 before the crash), the market needs to build a base.

1. Support to Watch: Gold needs to hold $2,300 to keep the long-term bull trend alive. For Silver, the $80 level is the new line in the sand.

India Impact (MCX)

On the MCX, Gold is struggling to hold the ₹1.55 Lakh mark (adjusted for 2026 pricing dynamics). This dip offers a potential entry point for SGB investors looking to average down.
