Silver prices climbed to $35.05 per ounce, marking an increase of $1.80 or approximately 5.37% from the previous session. Gold also saw a notable rise, with prices reaching $3,393.43 per ounce, up by $96.84 or about 2.94%.
The uptick in precious metal prices is attributed to heightened investor demand for safe-haven assets, driven by escalating trade disputes and geopolitical uncertainties. Analysts note that such market dynamics often lead to increased interest in commodities like gold and silver, which are traditionally viewed as stable stores of value during turbulent times.
Market participants are closely monitoring developments in global trade policies and geopolitical events, as these factors continue to influence investor sentiment and commodity prices. The current rally in precious metals underscores the market's sensitivity to international economic and political developments.
As the situation evolves, investors and analysts alike will be watching for further movements in precious metal markets, which may continue to reflect the broader economic and geopolitical landscape.
