In 2025, global banks' precious metals trading desks achieved a record revenue of $3.9 billion, the highest in a decade, driven by significant market dislocations and increased trading volumes. Veteran traders described the year as tumultuous, with gold and silver prices surging. Factors such as U.S. tariffs and heightened demand from hedge funds contributed to the volatility and profit opportunities. Major banks capitalized on price differentials between London and New York, while trading volumes surged, prompting firms to expand their precious metals offerings. The market saw increased activity in options trading, further boosting dealer revenues.

Oil Crisis Will Be 'Much Worse' in April, IEA -2-

Gold prices have surged above $4,500 per ounce, but analyst Mike McGlone warns this may indicate a generational peak. The recent rise was fueled by a weaker dollar and potential de-escalation in the Iran conflict. McGlone notes gold's volatility has increased, and it may face its largest monthly decline since the 1980s due to hawkish monetary policy. He also suggests that silver's recent surge could signify a historic peak. The future of precious metals will depend on the ongoing conflict in Iran, with potential price fluctuations between $4,000 and $5,000 per ounce.

The departure reasons for two senior metals traders, Vincent Domien and Mathew O’Neill, are unknown. When they joined, Tether was in the midst of a record-breaking gold purchasing year, aiming to build the "world's best gold trading desk." However, gold prices fell in March under multiple pressures, and both gold and Bitcoin faced pressure simultaneously. Analysis suggests Tether chose to downsize the team after completing its position building

- Tether, a leading stablecoin issuer, has laid off senior metal traders Vincent Domien and Mathew O'Neill, who joined from HSBC amid a record year for gold purchases.  
- The layoffs come as Tether faces pressure from declining gold prices and ongoing market volatility, with gold experiencing its worst monthly performance since 2008 due to various economic factors.  
- This personnel change coincides with Tether's efforts to undergo a significant transformation, including its first comprehensive financial audit and a pause on raising up to $20 billion in external funding until the audit is completed.

PRECIOUS METALS | SPDR Gold Trust Holdings Increase by 1.143 Tons

Gold prices surged on Tuesday, with Front Month Comex Gold rising by $118.90 (2.61%) to $4,676.40 per troy ounce, following reports that President Trump is considering ending the Middle East conflict. Silver also saw a significant increase. Amid ongoing tensions, Trump appears to favor diplomatic solutions over military action regarding Iran, while U.S. troops remain deployed in the region. The U.S. dollar weakened, and economists raised concerns about stagflation, although Goldman Sachs predicts gold could reach $5,400 per troy ounce by 2026.

PRECIOUS-Gold gains but heads for biggest monthly loss in nearly two decades

Gold prices rose nearly 1% to $4,560 an ounce, aided by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's comments that eased rate-hike expectations. Despite this, gold is set for a 13% monthly loss, its worst since October 2008. U.S. gold futures for June delivery increased by 0.7% to $4,588. The dollar is on track for its best month since October 2024, influenced by Middle East tensions. Powell indicated that inflation expectations are stable and downplayed the need for immediate rate hikes. Additionally, reports suggest a shift in U.S. military strategy regarding Iran.
