Gold, silver and platinum hit historic highs
Today, Friday, the precious metals markets witnessed a record rise in the prices of gold, silver, and platinum globally, reaching unprecedented levels, driven by a decline in confidence in American assets against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainty.
The price of gold in spot trading rose by 0.3%, reaching $4,980 per ounce, after touching a record level earlier today at $4,966.59.
US gold futures for February delivery also rose by 0.8% to record $4,952.80 an ounce.
This rise was supported by a decline in the dollar index near its lowest levels in more than two weeks, and a decline of about 1% over the course of the week, which made dollar-denominated metals less expensive for buyers from outside the United States.
On the other hand, Wall Street’s main indices witnessed a sharp wave of selling earlier in the week, following new threats from US President Donald Trump to impose customs duties on European Union countries, which worried investors before the markets recovered later.
On the political level, European Union leaders breathed a sigh of relief after Trump rescinded his decision regarding Greenland, but they warned during an emergency summit held in Brussels of their readiness to act in the event that such threats are repeated in the future.
Trump had announced that an agreement had been reached with NATO that would guarantee permanent American access to Greenland, while the details of the agreement are still unclear, amid Denmark’s assertion that its sovereignty over the island is not a matter of discussion.
As for silver, it jumped in spot trading by 2.6% to reach $98.71 per ounce, after hitting a record level of $99.20 earlier in the day.
Platinum also rose by 0.4% to $2,639.40 per ounce, after touching a historical level at $2,684.43, while palladium fell by 0.9% to record $1,903.10 per ounce.
These jumps in precious metal prices reflect the growing state of anxiety in global markets, and the trend of investors towards hedging tools in light of the escalation of economic and political risks.
