Silver prices surged on Tuesday, with spot silver climbing 8.4% to $112.57 per troy ounce by 10:12 a.m. GMT, after touching a record $117.69 the day before. Gold also gained, rising 1.6% to $5,092.09 as investors sought refuge in safe havens. “The constant back and forth on tariffs … is unlikely to curb safe-haven demand anytime soon,” said Zain Vawda, an analyst at MarketPulse by OANDA.

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.”

Silver price breaks $100 as safe-haven rush meets Fed week

Silver prices climbed above $100 an ounce on Friday for the first time ever, ending a tough week for risk assets as investors flocked to safe havens amid renewed speculation of U.S. rate cuts. Spot silver jumped about 5%, hitting $100.94 a troy ounce by 1848 GMT. 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 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.
