Gold Soars Above $3,800 Record as Silver and Platinum Rally – What’s Driving the Precious Metals Frenzy?
Gold hit a record $3,812 an ounce on September 29, rising for a seventh straight week. Silver jumped 2% to $47, its highest since 2011, while platinum and palladium touched multi-year peaks. The rally followed expectations of Fed rate cuts, a weaker dollar, and fears of a US government shutdown. ETF inflows and strong Asian demand supported prices, with central banks adding gold to reserves.
