What moves gold and silver prices? How do I know when to trade?
Metals respond to clear and trackable economic factors:
Inflation and Currency Weakness, strongest driver:
- High inflation pushes gold higher as purchasing power protection
- Weak US dollar pushes gold higher due to inverse correlation
- Currency crises lead to safe haven demand
- Central bank money expansion increases gold demand
Interest Rates and Monetary Policy:
- Low or zero interest rates support gold because there is no opportunity cost
- High interest rates pressure gold because bonds become attractive
- Federal Reserve announcements create strong volatility
- Quantitative easing is bullish for gold
Geopolitical Crisis and Uncertainty:
- Wars and conflicts lead to gold spikes
- Banking stress increases flight to precious metals
- Political instability raises safe haven demand
- Trade tensions increase economic uncertainty and gold buying
Stock Market Crashes:
- Risk off sentiment drives money into gold
- Portfolio hedging supports gold and silver
- Market fear, measured by the VIX, correlates with metal rallies
Supply and Demand, especially for silver:
- Mining production shifts affect prices
- Industrial demand for silver in electronics and solar energy
- Central bank gold purchases
- Jewelry demand with seasonal influence from India and China
Many traders find metals easier because the narrative is direct: crisis leads to higher gold prices and stability leads to lower gold prices. This is simpler than analyzing individual company earnings.
Wisuno provides:
- Economic calendar for inflation reports and Federal Reserve meetings
- Real time news feeds for geopolitical events
- MT4 and MT5 technical analysis tools
- Professional charting for trend identification
Pro tip: Follow US CPI inflation reports and Federal Reserve meetings. Gold often moves significantly during these events.
How much leverage can I use for metals trading?
Wisuno offers exceptional leverage on precious metals:
Metals Leverage: 200:1 to 2000:1
Gold, XAUUSD, XAUUSD.ecn, GCQ25USD:
- Leverage range: 200:1 to 2000:1
- Margin requirement: 200 to 2000 depending on account type
Silver, XAGUSD, XAGUSD.ecn:
- Leverage: 200:1
- Margin requirement: 200
What this means:
- With 500:1 leverage, one thousand dollars controls five hundred thousand dollars of gold exposure
- Gold at 2650 dollars per ounce with a one hundred ounce contract equals 265,000 dollars value
- Without leverage you need 265,000 dollars
- With 500:1 leverage you need about 530 dollars
Compare to physical metals:
- Physical gold or silver has zero leverage
- Gold ETFs usually offer no leverage
- Futures provide ten to twenty times leverage
- Wisuno CFDs provide up to 2000:1
Important considerations:
- Metals are less volatile than crypto but more volatile than indices
- Gold often moves twenty to fifty dollars per day and more than one hundred dollars during crises
- Use proper position sizing
- Always apply stop losses
- Risk one to two percent per trade maximum
Leverage flexibility:
- Conservative: Use 100:1 or 200:1
- Moderate: Use 500:1
- Aggressive: Up to 2000:1 for experienced traders
Pro tip: Metals often serve as hedges. Moderate leverage such as 200:1 to 500:1 maintains hedge value without adding unnecessary risk.

Gold, XAUUSD Swap Rates:
- Swap Long, buy positions: minus 16.93 percent annually

Trading implications:
