Rising Gold Prices:
Gold and silver prices are soaring like never before, and experts believe this sharp rise might not be normal. Common people are finding it difficult to buy jewellery, while investors are confused about whether to buy more or sell. Economist Peter Schiff has issued a serious warning, saying, “Something big is going to happen soon.” Here are the Top 5 Warnings you need to know about the current gold price trend.
Peter Schiff, Chief Economist at Euro Pacific Asset Management, pointed out that gold prices jumped 10% within a single week — something that hasn’t happened in the past five years. He called this rise “too serious” and hinted that global markets could be heading toward a big event.
On Friday, gold crossed $4,300 per ounce and reached a record $4,378. It continues to trade around $4,336 per ounce, while December US gold futures climbed to $4,348. Experts say this record-breaking rally is the strongest since March 2020.
The sharp increase in gold prices often signals fear in financial markets. Economists believe this rise reflects global uncertainty including the ongoing US-China trade tensions, instability in regional banks, and predictions of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve.
It’s not just gold silver, platinum, and palladium are also showing unstable trends. Silver hit $54.35 per ounce but fell slightly to $53.86. Platinum dropped to $1,701, while palladium closed at $1,607.93, showing that all precious metals are reacting to market stress.
In India, gold is trading at ₹1,31,250 per 10 grams after rising ₹1,398 in a day. Silver too went up slightly, trading at ₹1,67,677 per kilogram on the MCX. These rapid increases are worrying both buyers and investors.
