The gold crash at the beginning of February 2026 is causing a stir: Gold prices plummeted from a peak of $5,594/oz to $5,109/oz, dropping more than 9% in just one session, due to profit-taking after Budget 2026 and political stability in the U.S.

Total losses reached thousands of billions of USD, with gold losing 18% of its value in just 2 days in some markets.
