Silver Price Nears $78 as Gold and Platinum Hit Records: What’s Driving the 2025 Precious-Metals Melt-Up

Silver has pushed into territory that would have sounded far-fetched just a year ago. On Friday, December 26, spot silver surged through the $75-per-ounce threshold—an all-time high in nominal terms—before stretching higher in a powerful end-of-year rally that’s also lifted gold and platinum to fresh records. Reuters+1 While gold’s breakout has grabbed headlines for months, silver is increasingly becoming the market’s “tell”: a metal that behaves like a safe haven in risk-off moments, but also trades like a scarce industrial input when supply chains tighten. And in late 2025, both forces are hitting at once—especially in China, where local prices
