U.S. stock-market futures were flat Monday while gold and silver futures hit new all-time highs, amid uncertainty around the Fed’s independence and the Trump administration’s tariffs, as well as rising optimism about potential interest-rate cuts.
The continuous contract for gold futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose to a record high of $3,552.40 an ounce on Monday. Gold was most recently trading up 0.9%, around $3,547. The precious metal has seen its price soar about 34% year to date. The continuous contract for silver also surged 2% to a new high Monday, at $41.760. Silver was most recently trading at $41.580, up about 42% this year.
After initially rising about 40 points, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were last down 40 points, or 0.1%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures also gave up early gains and were down slightly. Bitcoin sank to near the $108,000 level, while crude oil, as reflected by West Texas Intermediate front-month prices , gained nearly 1%. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index , which measures the greenback against a basket of six foreign rivals, edged lower.
Gold and silver are seen as safe-haven assets, and their appeal has gained amid fears that the U.S. Federal Reserve may lose its independence, weakening the dollar. President Donald Trump has, for months, pressured Fed Chair Jerome Powell to slash interest rates, and his recent attempt to fire Fed governor Lisa Cook is seen by many as an attempt to impose control over the central bank.
