Silver Hits Three-Year Peak, Gold at Record High Silver prices have recently surged, overtaking the gains made by gold this year, with the metal reaching its highest price in nearly three years. Despite a general downturn in both metals during part of Thursday’s trading session, silver’s recovered nicely on Friday peaking at $29.50/oz. Gold also saw significant gains, with futures climbing by to a record high of $2,417 an ounce on Comex, marking a 14.5% increase year to date. This upward trend in precious metals comes despite the pressures of rising Treasury yields and a strong U.S. dollar, which have traditionally acted as obstacles to such gains. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Fed Holds Rates Steady, Hints at Easing Monetary Policy Soon READ MORE Poll: Two-Thirds of Middle-Class Americans Struggle Financially READ MORE Crude Oil Rally Continues: Third Weekly Gain as Middle East Tensions Escalate READ MORE OPEC+ Negotiates Long-Term Extension of Oil Output Cuts READ MORE Gold's Long-Term Strength Predicted to Persist READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
