As of 9:00 AM ET on February 17, 2026, the entire precious metals complex is trading lower:
Gold: $4,888.20/oz (-2.56%)
Silver: $72.82/oz (-5.29%)
Platinum: $1,996.80/oz (-2.80%)
Palladium: $1,662.50/oz (-3.71%)
The widespread red across the board is a result of a "policy shock" regarding shifted interest-rate expectations and a rebound in the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which moved above 97 this morning.
