Gold Surpasses $5,000 an Ounce Amid Rising Global Uncertainty

Gold continued its historic rally after breaking above the $5,000-per-ounce level, reflecting growing anxiety in global markets driven by U.S.

economic policies and geopolitical tensions.

In the latest trading sessions, gold reached $5,026 per ounce as investors increasingly turned to safe-haven assets amid uncertainty surrounding U.S.

President Donald Trump's policies and concerns related to the Federal Reserve.

Over the past two years, gold has consistently posted record highs, supported by a weaker U.S.

dollar, rising inflation, and strong demand from central banks worldwide, after surpassing the $2,000 mark in early 2024.

Meanwhile, silver also made history, with prices hitting $100 per ounce for the first time ever, fueled by robust industrial demand from sectors such as solar energy, electronics, and jewelry manufacturing.

Analysts note that global silver supplies are tightening as investor demand grows, particularly due to its increasing use in artificial intelligence data centers, further strengthening the appeal of precious metals during periods of economic instability.
