Gold and Silver Surge to Record Highs Amid Market Turmoil
Gold prices soared to an unprecedented $4,980 per ounce, breaching the $4,900 barrier as Federal Reserve rate cut expectations and a weakening dollar fueled demand. The rally reflects broader market anxiety, with investors flocking to traditional safe-haven assets.
Silver mirrored the trend, reaching a historic $96.58 per ounce, while platinum surged 4.6% to $2,601.03. Palladium joined the upward momentum, climbing 3.3% to $1,900.59. The simultaneous spikes across precious metals underscore deepening geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainty.
