Silver Price 2024 Year-End Review

ByVictoria

This year has been an up and down ride for silver after 2023 but seems to have taken a turn in the last quarter of the year.

News!

“Silver fell to a quarterly low of US$30.11 on November 27, but since then the precious metal has regained some ground. As of December 11, it was trading at US$31.88.

The next Fed meeting is set to run from December 17 to 18. Most analysts expect the central bank to make one last 25 basis point cut before pausing in 2025.”

    Opinion piece, Gold impacted by panic buying

    Some finance experts in Simpsonville said they’ve seen a surge in people investing in gold. They said it follows fears over the economy slowing. 

    Co-owner of JEHM Wealth and Retirement Eric Lahaie told 7NEWS the value of gold has increased by more than 30 percent in the last six months. He emphasized that it is largely because of panic buying.

    “The appreciation is all that you’re going to get out of it. It doesn’t produce a dividend. It doesn’t generate interest like a stock, or a bond will do. So, you don’t get that advantage. And then, as I said earlier, it kind of moves in big jumps, and then flattens out for a long time,” said Lahaie. 

    “If you buy it in a brokerage account, when you sell gold, your gains are taxed at your ordinary income up to 28 percent,” Lahaie also said. “Versus, if you sell stock, as long-term capital gain, you’re going to be taxed somewhere between 15 and 20 percent on the high end. So, that’s kind of a disadvantage for gold.”

    Spot gold held steady at $3,047.1 an ounce as of 0700 GMT, after hitting a record high of $3,057.21 earlier in the session.

    U.S. gold futures gained 0.4% to $3,054.10.

    “For now, gold’s appeal as a safe haven and inflation hedge has further strengthened in light of those geopolitical concerns and tariff uncertainty. We remain constructive on the outlook of gold,” said OCBC forex strategist Christopher Wong.

    Spot silver was flat at $33.8 an ounce, platinum fell 0.3% to $989.85. Palladium slipped 1% to $949.50.

    Precious metals fall, Gold eased

    ByVictoria
    0 Comments

    Gold prices slipped more than 1% on Tuesday, as optimism over trade deals between U.S. and its trading partners weighed on safe-haven flows, with a firmer U.S. dollar and rising Treasury yields adding further pressure.

    Spot gold eased 0.8% to $3,307.16 per ounce, as of 01:49 p.m. EDT (1749 GMT), after hitting its lowest in over one week earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures settled 0.8% lower at $3,316.9.

    “Focus is on trade as the July 9 deadline nears, with the Trump administration ramping up pressure. But some optimism related to trade deals is fuelling risk-on sentiment, keeping gold subdued,” said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals.

    Spot silver lost 0.3% to $36.64 per ounce, platinum dropped 0.8% to $1,359.90, while palladium was flat at $1,111.36.
