Silver Surges To Record $120, Gold Nears High Of $5,600 As Price Rally Breaks Even More Records

Gold surged over 4% and silver nearly 7% this week as investors reacted to U.S.-Iran tensions, a weaker dollar, and expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, analysts said.

  • On Thursday, gold neared $5,600, rising more than $200, while silver topped $120 at $121.79 amid U.S.-Iran tensions.
  • Market analysts point to dollar weakness and Fed expectations as U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions and a weakening dollar hitting a four-year low drove metals demand this week.
  • At 9:30 a.m. EST, gold was trading about $5,535.10, up more than 4.3%, while silver climbed to $121.10, up nearly 7% and near its intraday high.
  • Investors are reallocating into gold as a safe-haven, with retail and institutional investors increasing allocations while industrial demand from electric-vehicle production and AI data centers pressures silver markets.
  • Looking forward, forecasters see both upside and sharp downside risks as Deutsche Bank attributed to potential gold prices surpassing $6,000 this year and analysts warned of extreme volatility, including market `broken` conditions.
