Gold & Silver Continue to Smash Records (End-of-Year Rally)
Precious metals are breaking multiple all-time price records, with gold, silver, platinum, and palladium surging amid geopolitical tensions, a weakening U.S. dollar, and expectations of future rate cuts — extending one of the most historic rallies in decades.
📈 Gold hit a fresh lifetime high above $4,530+ per ounce, extending strong gains driven by safe-haven demand and macro uncertainty.
⚪ Silver surged past $75 per ounce for the first time ever, rallying over 150%+ YTD, outpacing gold’s already big gains.
⚒️ Platinum and palladium also jumped to record highs, with both metals benefiting from tight supply and investor rotation into hard assets.

📉 A weaker U.S. dollar and thin year-end liquidity amplified price moves, while rate cut expectations boosted appeal for non-yielding safe havens.
Why It Matters:
This broad precious metals rally reflects a “perfect storm” of:
Macro uncertainty (geopolitical and debt pressures)
Weakening currency dynamics globally
Inflation hedging demand
ETF inflows and central bank purchases
If this sets the tone for 2026, gold could be eyed toward $5,000+ and silver has potential to test triple-digit territory among some analysts.
