Why are metal prices where they are?
Last year, both gold and silver climbed sharply, driven by global economic uncertainty, rising inflation, and strong ownership from investors seeking unscratched assets. Silver in particular saw steep gains in late 2025, although prices have eased slightly from record peaks as liquidity thinned virtually year-end.
Analysts say price swings in early 2026 could continue, with global demand, currency movements and interest rate expectations all playing roles. For now, gold remains a stable store of value, while silver attracts sustentation for its industrial links and recent performance.
