Polymarket launched Perps, its perpetual futures product, on September 3, 2025, starting with 10 markets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, HYPE, gold, silver, WTI oil, the S&P 500, the Nasdaq 100, and a SpaceX share contract, and expanding to 67 markets within hours. [^1]

Gold prices in Delhi surged by 3,400 rupees on Thursday, reversing a six-session decline. [^2]

The price of 99.9% pure gold reached 159,500 rupees per 10 grams on Thursday, including all taxes. [^3]

Silver prices are currently trading within a narrow range between $65.50 and $67 per ounce, with the market searching for a definitive direction. [^4]

Kalshi received CFTC approval for its Bitcoin perpetual futures contract on May 29, 2025, making it the first onshore perpetual futures product in the US, and has since filed for perpetuals on a dozen altcoins and a copper contract. [^5]

Polymarket bars order placement from the United States, Canada, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk, routing US traders to Polymarket US, a separate CFTC-regulated exchange. [^6]

Polymarket's Perps funding rate is capped at 4% per hour in either direction, with maintenance margin set at half the maximum leverage rate, meaning a fully leveraged 20x position can be liquidated after losing roughly 2.5% of posted margin. [^7]

Gold prices in Delhi closed at 156,100 rupees per 10 grams on Wednesday, including all taxes. [^8]

The surge in gold prices was attributed to strong trends in international markets. [^9]

Analysts identify $67 as a critical resistance level supported by the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the Ichimoku Cloud. [^10]

If silver breaks above $67 with high volume, the first price target is set at $69.50, followed by $71.16 and $73.70. [^11]

If the price fails to hold above the $65-$65.50 support zone, sellers may push prices down to $64.50, with further declines potentially targeting $62.50. [^12]
