Gold and Silver ETFs Plunge Up to 14% Amid Profit Booking After Record Rally

Gold and silver ETFs fell sharply on January 30, with some dropping as much as 14%, following record highs in precious metals. Profit booking, global price corrections, and US monetary policy uncertainty triggered the sell-off. Analysts suggest a phased buying strategy for long-term investors amid ongoing volatility.

Gold and silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs) faced heavy losses on January 30 as investors rushed to lock in gains after an extraordinary rally in precious metals. Some ETFs declined by up to 14% in a single session, rattling retail investors and raising questions about whether this correction offers a buying opportunity or signals a pause in the rally.

The sharp fall followed a global pullback in gold and silver prices. Silver had surged over 50% in January, marking one of its strongest monthly performances on record, while gold logged its biggest monthly rise in years. Once prices hit fresh record highs, investors booked profits, pressuring ETFs that track physical gold and silver.

Domestic futures also saw steep declines. April gold futures dropped about 5% to Rs 1,75,100 per 10 grams, while March silver futures fell around 6% to Rs 3,75,900 per kilogram. ETFs mirrored this trend, with gold funds declining 9–10% and silver funds falling 12–14%, reflecting higher volatility in silver.

Global uncertainty, particularly surrounding the US Federal Reserve’s leadership and interest rate trajectory, has further influenced precious metals prices. Gold and silver remain attractive long-term hedges against inflation and market instability, but short-term volatility is expected to persist. Analysts recommend staggered investments and limited exposure for cautious investors, while emphasizing that the long-term bullish trend in precious metals remains intact.
