    Gold continues to climb, tariffs increase demand

    Gold prices rose to a record high on Wednesday on safe-haven demand following U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariff threats, while investors awaited minutes of the Federal Reserve’s January policy meeting.

    Spot gold surged to an all-time high of $2,946.85/oz earlier in the session and was last down 0.2% at $2,928.88 as the dollar crept higher as of 12:17 pm ET (1714 GMT).

    “We are in a state of unusual-heightened uncertainty… the catalyst is the tariffs and trade talks or threats that are going on around the world,” which is supporting the prices, said Paul Wong, market strategist at Sprott Asset Management.

    Among other metals, spot silver, used in electrical components, shed 0.7% to $32.64 an ounce, which aims to challenge a 10-year high.

    Platinum declined 2.1% to $966.65 and palladium eased 1.9% to $968.43.

    Gold and Silver are trying to stabilize after selloff

    Although gold and silver saw disappointing price action on Friday, experiencing their worst daily loss since mid-December, some analysts note that the damage to the broad rallies has been limited.

    The gold market started the week holding initial support around $2,880 an ounce. Spot gold last traded at $2,896.50 an ounce, up 0.50% on the day. Silver is also finding solid support, as it has bounced off its overnight lows just below $32 an ounce. Spot silver last traded at $32.20 an ounce, up 0.20% on the day.

    Alex Kuptsikevich, Chief Market Analyst at FxPro, said in a note that gold’s price action has become a little more complicated following Friday’s selloff, as buyers have become more cautious.

    Silver prices close to $35 mark

    Silver prices surged to $33 per ounce on Friday, hitting their highest since late October at $33.41, fueled by factors driving gold to record highs.

    London Bullion Market Association data revealed an 8.6% drop in silver inventories to 23,528 tons in January, the largest monthly decline since 2016.

    Despite bullish trends, analysts caution against silver’s volatility, noting its price movements often exceed gold’s by 2-2.5 times.

  • Over the Weekend!

    The Price Of Gold From 2021-22 Has Long Rejected ‘Bidenflation’

    Considering the price of gold throughout 2021, it averaged out to roughly $1,798/ounce, meaning the value of the dollar actually rose around 3 percent right at the time that the economy-sapping tax that is government spending continued under Biden, and allegedly caused “inflation.” To be clear, government spending is the worst tax of all exactly because it substitutes central planning of resources by the government for that of the private sector. Still, it logically doesn’t cause higher prices, or “inflation,” and it didn’t if gold is to be believed.

    Silver sees 10-year peak

    “Silver’s been a laggard, and some would refer to it as the Cinderella metal, because it always misses the ball. Having said that, silver has finally woken up and broken above some key technical resistance,” independent analyst Ross Norman said. If current momentum continued, silver could challenge the $35 level, he added.

    “Silver has a long history of higher volatility than gold, and that when gold makes a decisive move, silver’s amplitude is usually 2.0-2.5 times that of gold,” StoneX analyst Rhona O’Connell said in a recent note.

    Gold-Silver Ratio exceeds 90:1

    Gold has reached new all-time highs, and the gold-to-silver ratio now exceeds 90:1. Such a high ratio has often signaled an impending breakout for silver prices. It indicates that silver could be undervalued, and we may be on the verge of a major price surge. Sometimes, if you miss a price run-up for gold, you can make up for it by buying silver instead as it catches up to its yellow cousin.
