Gold price today: Why bullion slid more than 2% below $4,900 — and what traders watch next

New York, February 17, 2026, 12:10 EST — Regular session. Gold dropped sharply on Tuesday, losing over 2% and dipping below $4,900 an ounce after signs of progress in U.S.-Iran negotiations eased safe-haven demand and pushed the dollar higher. Spot gold slid 2.2% to $4,883.85 per ounce as of 11:33 a.m. ET. April futures in the U.S. were hit even harder, off 2.9% at $4,900.80. “Bull markets need fresh news,” noted Jim Wyckoff, senior analyst at Kitco Metals. Investors are watching for minutes from the Fed’s January meeting on Wednesday and the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures report for December on Friday, with a June rate cut still expected.

Silver price today: spot silver drops to $75.83 as dollar firms in holiday-thinned trade

New York, Feb 16, 2026, 16:02 EST — The final bell’s rung; trading has ended for the day.

U.S. markets were closed for Presidents Day, and several Asian exchanges remained shut for the Lunar New Year, leaving liquidity scattered.
