    Gold bullion edged 0.2% lower

    Bullion edged 0.2% lower to around $2,750 an ounce, roughly just $40 short of its all-time high and still set for a fourth straight weekly gain.

    The president has identified China, the EU, Canada and Mexico as potential targets for import levies, though there is uncertainty over whether he will follow through with the threats. 

    Gold traded at 2,751.44 an ounce as of 10:48 a.m. in London. Silver, platinum and palladium fell. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was relatively unchanged.

    JP Morgan analyst on gold

    After a strong run for precious metals, gold mining shares still look undervalued.

    That’s the view from JP Morgan’s latest note on listed producers, which argues there’s room for substantial upside, especially if its bullish forecast for the precious metal proves right.

    Its commodities team is pencilling in a price of $4,100 an ounce for 2026. That’s well above current spot levels of $3,320 and would mark a new all-time high.

    Based on that estimate, JP Morgan sees around 40–50 per cent upside to average analyst expectations for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation across the sector.

    Gold and gold futures up, Silver down 0.7%

    Gold prices rose on Friday as investors turned to the safe-haven asset after United States President Donald Trump imposed fresh tariffs on a broad range of countries, while the market’s focus shifted to the U.S. non-farm payrolls report.

    Spot gold was up 0.3% at $3,299.54 per ounce, as of 1119 GMT. However, bullion is down 1.4% so far this week.

    U.S. gold futures rose 0.1% to $3,351.40.

    “The incoming US jobs report may also trigger another big move for gold. Another demonstration of resilience by the U.S. jobs market could send gold southbound towards $3,200,” Han Tan, chief market analyst at Nemo.Money.

    Spot silver fell 0.7% to $36.49 per ounce, platinum lost 1.6% at $1,269.27 and palladium was down 1.7% at $1,170.35.

  • Silver Price 2024 Year-End Review

    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.”

    ‘Bitcoin Fixes This’—Elon Musk Pitched Gold ‘Upgrade’

    Now, as Elon Musk brands the U.S. debt clock “terrifying,” bitcoin-backing U.S. senator Cynthia Lummis has pitched Musk a bitcoin “fix” to questions over the U.S. gold reserves.

    “Bitcoin fixes this,” Lummis posted to X in response to Musk’s question about how often the U.S. gold in Fort Knox is reviewed. “A bitcoin reserve could be audited any time 24/7 with a basic computer. It’s time to upgrade our reserves.”

    “The recent decrease in volatility, coupled with the rising price of gold, should highlight bitcoinʼs growing appeal as an alternative store of value,” analysts with the Bitfinex crypto exchange said in emailed comments. “We believe that while bitcoin may face some short-term pressures due to macroeconomic headwinds in the coming weeks, its long-term value proposition continues to strengthen.”
