Gold And Silver Hit Records As Investors Hunt For Safety

WORLDWIDE – Gold has surged to another all-time high, trading above $4,400 an ounce for the first time.

Analysts say investors are betting the U.S. federal reserve will cut interest rates next year, pushing more money into safe-haven assets.

Gold is up more than 68% this year, it’s biggest jump since 1979, driven by geopolitical tensions, Trump’s trade policies and a weaker U.S. dollar.

Silver also hit a record, while platinum reached a 17-year high.

Central banks around the world are buying more gold to hedge against economic turbulence and reduce reliance on the dollar. And analysts expect U.S. rate cuts again in 2026.
