Gold and Silver futures experienced a decline on the final trading day of 2025 despite being positioned for their largest annual gains in 40 years. Prices softened amidst thin post-holiday liquidity, though safe haven demand and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts continue to provide a supportive environment. Traders are currently eyeing a 17% probability of a rate cut at the January 28 meeting according to the CME FedWatch Tool. Silver futures remain volatile after a historic intraday reversal to the $70 level, while Copper futures face pressure due to declining consumption in China despite long-term demand for clean energy expansion.
