Gold and silver prices experienced a rebound on Friday, February 13, 2026, after a sharp sell-off, though volatility remains a key factor for traders.
According to data from Investing.com, the spot price of gold reached $4,967.93 per ounce as of 10:46 a.m. GMT. This represents a gain of $53.03 per ounce, or 1.08%, compared to the previous day. Over the past year, gold prices have risen by 69.50%, and over the last five years, they have more than doubled, increasing by 172.4%. Over the past decade, gold prices have nearly tripled.
Analysts at TradingView note that gold has moved away from a support area and is now testing a nearby supply zone between $4,920 and $4,960, where previous selling pressure emerged. A failure to hold above this resistance could lead to a decline towards $4,860-$4,830.
The price of silver also saw a recovery, though the extent of the rebound was not specified in available reports. Recent market activity has been influenced by value gaps, with unfilled buying gaps continuing to provide support, contributing to the current rebound, according to TradingView.
The broader market context includes anticipation of key inflation data, which is driving fluctuations in equity futures. Reports indicate that equity futures have fallen ahead of the release of this data.
GoldPriceData.com reports that as of February 13, 2026, the price of gold is $159.74 per gram (24 karat), $146.43 per gram (22 karat), and $139.77 per gram (21 karat). The price of an ounce of gold is $4,967.93. The market shows an overall upward momentum, with demand for safe-haven assets and a hedge against inflation continuing to support higher prices.
Recent market movements have also seen significant shifts, with reports indicating that trillions of dollars have evaporated from global markets. One report suggests this is due to a combination of factors impacting global financial stability.
Some analysts have questioned whether the recent declines in gold and silver prices represent a correction. Investing.com reports that the question remains whether the recent price drops are merely a temporary correction or the start of a more significant trend.
