In the past few months, due to concerns among traders about how Precious Metals would be affected by tariffs, New York futures Gold experienced a significant premium over benchmark prices, stimulating large-scale arbitrage trading. As Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium were exempt from tariffs, the arbitrage trading reversed, leading to a rapid and significant narrowing of the price difference between New York futures Gold and spot Gold, while the Silver market experienced a sharp decline in the "physical delivery price difference."
