Silver ended Monday’s trade higher while gold retreated, extending a choppy rebound in precious metals that has left investors balancing higher real yields, a softer dollar tone and volatile safe-haven demand.
Silver Rises as Gold Weakens After Volatile Trade
The move matters because silver’s bounce comes after a steep pullback in bullion prices that had pressured jewelry buyers and traders watching for a broader reset in metals. In local market terms, silver was quoted at 13.15 dinars for 800 purity, 15.10 dinars for 900 purity and 16.50 dinars for 850 purity, underscoring that prices remain elevated even after the latest swing.

In futures trading, silver for December delivery closed at $61.40 an ounce on Oct. 6, up from $60.87 on Oct. 5, after a recent burst of volatility that saw it surge far above the 50-day moving average before slipping back toward that trend line. The metal is still trading below its 200-day moving average of $72.59, while RSI readings around 39 point to a market that is cool after an earlier overbought run.
Gold showed a weaker tone by comparison. GLD, the SPDR Gold Shares ETF, finished Monday at $379.55, below its 50-day moving average of $396.45 and 200-day average of $416.07, with RSI at 36.5 and the MACD still negative, a technical setup that suggests investors are not rushing back into the haven trade.
The broader backdrop remains mixed. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was forecast at 5.28% for Oct. 5, up from 5.28% on Oct. 2, while the two-year yield was seen at 4.773%, keeping pressure on non-yielding assets. At the same time, Adalytica’s Gold Fear & Greed Index showed “Extreme Fear” at 12, while its U.S. dollar trade signals pointed to a weaker mood for the greenback, a combination that can whip precious-metals pricing in either direction.
For investors, the key question is whether silver can hold above near-term support after its latest recovery or whether higher rates and a still-firm dollar drag bullion back into another correction. The next catalyst is likely to come from Treasury moves, currency trading and any shift in safe-haven demand that could decide whether Monday’s rebound sticks.
