💪 Golden Run Continues

Gold is set for its eighth straight weekly gain, climbing 2.7% to around US$3,993 per ounce after hitting a record US$4,059 earlier in the week, as investors flock to safe-haven assets amid global uncertainty and expectations of U.S. rate cuts.

Analysts describe gold’s rise as part of a secular bull market, fuelled by geopolitical tensions, central bank buying, ETF inflows, and a weaker U.S. dollar.

Silver also surged, hovering near its record US$51.22 per ounce, up 76% year-to-date, though traders warn of potential short-term volatility.

Platinum and palladium posted modest gains as broader precious metals sentiment remained strong.

😎 Silver Breaks History

Silver surged past US$50 per ounce for the first time since 1980, reaching US$51.23, as investors flocked to safe-haven assets amid fiscal and geopolitical uncertainty.

The rally—up nearly 70% year-to-date—outpaced gold’s gains and reflected both strong investment demand and tightening physical supply, with the silver market in London facing severe shortages and record borrowing costs.

Analysts cite persistent supply deficits, industrial demand from solar and wind energy, and renewed “debasement trade” fears as key drivers.

However, volatility remains high, echoing past speculative surges such as the Hunt brothers’ 1980 squeeze and the #silversqueeze movement of 2020.
