Gold and silver soar in year-end rally

Tue Dec 23 2025

Gold surged close to the $4,500-per-ounce mark on Tuesday, while silver hovered just shy of $70, as expectations of looser U.S. monetary policy propelled both precious metals toward record highs.

Spot gold traded as high as $4,497.55, while silver climbed to a record peak of $69.98, extending hefty gains this year.

Physically-backed gold exchange-traded funds are on course for their biggest inflow since 2020, attracting $82 billion, equivalent to 749 tons, so far this year, Reuters reported.

Spot silver has surged over 140% this year, outpacing gold's gain of more than 70%, supported by robust investment demand, its inclusion on the U.S. critical minerals list, and momentum buying.
