Gold prices soared to an unprecedented level on Thursday, surpassing the $4,400 per ounce mark for the first time in history. This surge reflects a growing demand for the precious metal amid global market volatility.
Strong Performance on the New York Exchange
According to trading data, February gold futures on the New York Comex exchange rose by $28.95, or 0.66%, compared to the previous closing price, reaching $4,402.85 per ounce, the highest recorded price for gold.
Silver Continues Its Record Climb
The positive trend was not limited to gold, as silver also saw significant gains, with spot contracts increasing by 0.2% to $66.44 per ounce, following a record high of $66.88 in the previous session.
Notable Annual Gains
Data indicated that silver contracts have surged approximately 129% since the beginning of the year, outpacing gold's gains of around 65% during the same period. This increase is attributed to rising industrial demand, greater investor interest, and declining global supplies.
Market Trends
Analysts suggest that the record highs for gold and silver reflect a shift among investors towards safe-haven assets as a hedge against economic and inflationary risks, driven by ongoing uncertainty in global markets. This trend enhances the appeal of precious metals going forward.
