The gold futures price chart this week has been influenced by dovish central bank tones, sparking renewed interest from hedge funds positioning for a move toward $2,080 if current upward momentum holds. December silver futures were trading at $41.66 on September 2, 2025, after trading to a high of $41.73 per ounce. The price continued to rise as silver closes in on a challenge of the 2011 and 1980 respective highs of $49.82 and $50.36 per ounce. This may not be the last time we see temporary distortions in the gold market. The signs are, however, that the depth and liquidity of the gold market is able to absorb – over time – most of these shocks. Looking at intraday moves, the gold futures price chart shows increased liquidity during European hours, aligning with London gold fix dynamics and positioning into U.S. open volatility.
