If gold hits $5000 before Feb, I would expect a healthy pullback as long as there isn't a strong signal for a nice upward momentum. Which leads me to side with Jeffries and Yardeni IF the former happens, however I expected it to dip earlier and then steady a little before hitting the $6000 around end of March or April at the earliest due to Spring Festival celebrations and a slower pace.
CME Relaxes Margins: Will "Gold Rush" Comeback?
Effective after the close on March 6, 2026, the CME Group has slashed initial margin requirements for Gold (from 9% to 7%) and Silver (from 18% to 14%). This move signals an end to a relentless cycle of six consecutive margin hikes that aimed to curb the "volatility" in early 2026.
The fundamental demand remains institutionalized: the World Gold Council reports a massive $5.3 billion net inflow into gold ETFs in February, 9 consecutive month of growth.
Will margin cut invite a fresh wave of leveraged speculators?
Will gold start a sustained rebound?
