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
Risk-Off Sentiment
Safe-haven flows drive money into gold during periods of market stress
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, stability leads to lower gold prices. This is simpler than analyzing complex macroeconomic indicators.
Wisuno provides:
Economic calendar for inflation reports and Federal Reserve meetings
Real-time news feeds for geopolitical events
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 transparent leverage:
Leverage: Up to 1:30 across all instruments.
Compare to physical metals:
Physical gold or silver has zero leverage
Gold ETFs typically offer little or no leverage
Wisuno CFDs provide regulated leverage up to 1:30
Important considerations:
Metals are less volatile than many other instruments but still carry risk
Gold often moves $20–$50 per day, and more than $100 during crises
Use proper position sizing – always apply stop losses
Risk 1–2% per trade maximum
Pro tip: Metals often serve as hedges. Our 1:30 leverage lets you manage exposure efficiently while keeping risk under control.

Larger percentage movements
Industrial & economic recovery themes
Experienced traders comfortable with swings
Characteristics:
Price around $31 per ounce
Daily swings of 3–5% are common

Dual role as a precious and industrial metal

When silver outperforms:

Gold & Silver Ratio Strategy
Ratio = Gold price divided by Silver price
Historical average: 60–70
High ratio (above 80) suggests silver undervaluation
Low ratio (below 50) suggests gold undervaluation
Advanced traders trade ratio spreads
Recommendation for beginners: Start with gold (XAUUSD). It has lower volatility, clearer signals, and tighter spreads. Move to silver once you are familiar with metals trading.

Gold (XAUUSD) Swap Rates
| Position | Annual Swap Rate |
|---|---|
| Swap Long (Buy) | –16.93% per year |
| Swap Short (Sell) | +1.04% per year |
Long positions pay the negative swap rate.
Short positions may earn the positive swap rate due to interest rate differentials.

| Position | Annual Swap Rate |
|---|---|
| Swap Long (Buy) | –4.56% per year |
| Swap Short (Sell) | +1.45% per year |
Long positions pay. Short positions may earn.
Daily Calculation
Annual swap ÷ 365 days = daily cost or credit
Applied after 24:00 server time to positions held overnight
Example:
Hold a $10,000 gold long position overnight.
Annual swap = –16.93%
Daily cost = $10,000 × 16.93% ÷ 365 ≈ $4.64 per day
Why short positions can earn
Metals pay no interest or dividends.
Interest rate differentials influence swap values.
Short positions can receive a small positive swap.
Trading implications
Metals CFDs are ideal for:
Swing trading (days to weeks)
Crisis hedging during uncertainty
Trend following in inflation or crisis periods
Position trading (weeks to months)
Swap costs are small compared to storage fees for physical metals, dealer premiums, or insurance costs.
Pro tip: If you trade gold intraday and close before 24:00, you pay no swap fees. For longer positions, swap costs are usually outweighed by larger price movements.
Transparency: All swap rates are clearly displayed in our trading conditions.
