Amillex Daily Market Commentary | Gold & Silver Surge in Sync, Silver Jumps 10.2% in a Single Day

January 27, 2026 — Rising geopolitical tensions and escalating trade conflicts have reignited safe-haven demand, pushing market risk aversion into high gear. After US–Canada trade frictions intensified over the weekend, bullish momentum continued through January 26 and into today’s early session, supported by strong institutional inflows and elevated geopolitical risk. Spot gold surged above USD 5,110 to a new all-time high before easing to USD 5,077.22, still posting a near-2% daily gain. Silver outperformed sharply, jumping 10.2% in one session to close at USD 113.46, after hitting an intraday record of USD 117.70.

Asset Performance & Fundamental Overview

Dow Jones Industrial Average: ~49,412 (+0.09%). After a post-Davos rebound, the Dow has entered a “base-building” consolidation at historical highs.
S&P 500: ~6,954. Despite lingering global trade tensions, the market appears to be digesting the short-term impact of tariff pressures.
Nasdaq Composite: ~25,884. Performance among tech heavyweights remains highly fragmented, with valuation-sensitive sectors continuing to face profit-taking.

2. Foreign Exchange Market

US Dollar Index (DXY): ~97.06. Markets are closely watching Powell’s guidance on the 2026 rate-cut path; any comments on inflation stickiness could determine whether the dollar resumes its upward trend.
