What moves gold and silver
Gold has no yield and no earnings, so its price is driven almost entirely by the opportunity cost of holding it. When real interest rates fall, that cost drops and gold tends to rise. When the dollar strengthens, gold priced in dollars usually softens.
Silver behaves like gold's more volatile sibling. Roughly half of silver demand is industrial, which ties it to manufacturing cycles as well as to the monetary story. That dual character makes it move further in both directions.
- Real interest rates and central bank policy expectations
- US dollar strength, since both metals are dollar-denominated
- Central bank reserve buying, particularly from emerging markets
- Geopolitical stress and safe-haven rotation
- For silver specifically, industrial and solar demand
What actually moves gold and silver
Trading metals as CFDs
Short as easily as long
Selling gold is mechanically identical to buying it. There is no borrow to arrange and no uptick rule, so a bearish view is as expressible as a bullish one.
Position sizing matters more
A standard gold lot is 100 ounces, so a $10 move is $1,000. With high leverage available, position sizing discipline is the difference between a strategy and a coin flip.
