PRECIOUS METALS RALLY COULD CONTINUE: MUFGRESEARCH Gold, silver, and platinum hit record levels as safe-haven demand intensified. Gold rose above $4,500 per ounce on rising geopolitical tensions and expectations of further U.S. rate cuts. Central bank buying, strong ETF inflows, and concerns over currency debasement and global debt continue to support prices. Gold is up over 70% this year, while silver has gained about 150%. Tight supply conditions have also pushed silver and platinum sharply higher, reinforcing expectations of further gains.(*Walter Bloomberg)
