Silver price breaks $110 to a record as dollar slides on intervention talk and Fed focus

Silver price breaks $110 to a record as dollar slides on intervention talk and Fed focus

Silver prices surged past $110 an ounce on Monday, marking a new record as investors rushed into precious metals, shunning the dollar. Spot silver hit $110.06 and was last up 6.2% at $109.36 by 0841 GMT. The market jitters were fueled by Trump’s fresh tariff threat—a 100% tariff on Canada linked to a possible China trade deal. Heraeus Metals trader Alexander Zumpfe warned the sharp rally could trigger “sharp interim corrections.”

Gold also soared, hitting a record $4,988.17, while platinum set another fresh high. “Silver should continue to benefit from many of the same forces supporting gold investment demand,” said Philip Newman, director at Metals Focus.

Silver price surges toward $100 after record hit as Fed week looms

Silver climbed 1.7% to $97.85 an ounce by 0851 GMT on Friday, after hitting a record $99.34 earlier, continuing a strong rally that’s also lifted gold and platinum to new highs. “Faith in the U.S. and its assets have been shaken, maybe permanently,” said Kyle Rodda, senior market analyst at Capital.com. The dollar index—which measures the greenback against six major currencies—hovered near a two-week low, down about 1% on the week. Traders are pricing in a Federal Reserve pause next week, with two rate cuts still expected in 2026.

Gold slips from record highs as Trump cools Greenland threats; Kuwait gold rates stay near peaks

Gold fell on Thursday after hitting a record in the previous session, as eased geopolitical tensions cut demand for bullion as a safe-haven. Spot gold was down 0.8% at $4,796.75 an ounce by 0524 GMT after touching $4,887.82 on Wednesday, while U.S. gold futures for February slipped 0.8% to $4,799.90. “Reversal of comments by the U.S. President was one factor that eased geopolitical tensions,” said ANZ commodity strategist Soni Kumari, with traders awaiting U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures data — the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge — and weekly jobless claims; silver slipped to $93.19 and platinum fell nearly 2% after a record a day earlier.
