Gold Holds Near Record, Silver rallied

ByVictoria

Silver climbed as much as 3.1% to exceed $33 an ounce, while gold headed for a seventh weekly gain — the longest run since August 2020.

The president has already imposed 10% levies on Chinese goods and plans to slap 25% duties on all US steel and aluminum imports next month.

Spot silver rose 2.9% to $33.284 an ounce by 1:20 p.m. in London, taking this week’s gains to 4.6%. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell 0.2%. Gold, platinum and palladium were little changed.

    President Trump said he will impose tariffs on aluminum and copper

    “We have to bring production back to our country,” he said.

    “In the US, manufacturers will have little choice but to pass on higher costs from imports to consumers until the downstream industry (refining/smelting) has undergone suitable investment,” said Natalie Scott-Gray, senior metals analyst at StoneX.

    “If Trump imposes tariffs, it will have an adverse impact particularly on aluminum because Europe is already on path to impose a carbon tax and the UK might do it too,” said B.K. Bhatia, additional secretary general at the Federation of Indian Mineral Industries.
