Amillex Daily Market Commentary | Resilient Nonfarm Data Crushes Bullish Sentiment as Gold Falls Below USD 5,000

13 February 2026 — Global precious metals markets were hit by a sharp shakeout during Thursday’s U.S. session. Spot gold plunged more than 3% in a single, heavy bearish candle, forcefully breaking below the key psychological level of USD 5,000. By the New York close, gold settled at USD 4,920, after touching an intraday low of USD 4,878—down as much as 4.2% and marking its lowest level since 6 February.

The core driver behind this “free fall” was the unexpectedly strong resilience of the U.S. labour market, which completely undermined market optimism for near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts. As rate-cut expectations faded, the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets surged, placing intense pressure on gold.

Silver fared even worse, suffering a single-day collapse of nearly 10%. Not only were the previous session’s gains fully erased, but the move also triggered a broad withdrawal of safe-haven capital. Under the weight of tighter policy expectations, both gold and silver entered a synchronized correction.

Market focus has now fully shifted to the upcoming U.S. CPI inflation data. This release will serve as a critical litmus test for the Fed’s future policy path—and will be decisive in determining whether gold can stabilize above USD 4,900 and attempt another push toward the USD 5,000 milestone.
