📈 Dow Hits Record Close as Gold & Silver Soar
Wall Street reaches new highs while precious metals rally continues
On Dec 26, 2025, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a record 48,731, marking another milestone in 2025’s strong equity rally. Meanwhile, gold and silver futures surged to all-time highs, reflecting elevated safe-haven demand amid global economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. Markets remained thin due to the post-holiday session, but investors continue to monitor both equities and commodities closely.
• Dow Jones: 48,731 (record close)
• S&P 500: 6,930 (slightly below record)
• Nasdaq: 23,593 (marginally down)
• Gold (GC=F): ~$4,505 per ounce (new record)
• Silver (SI=F): ~$76.50 per ounce (all-time high)
• Light trading in U.S. & international markets; Tokyo, Shanghai, Seoul gained while Europe remained mostly closed
Strong equity performance alongside surging precious metals signals continued risk-on and safe-haven demand simultaneously, a rare market environment. Investors may expect heightened volatility in early 2026 amid policy uncertainty and global tensions.
