Gold and Silver Prices Continue to Rise
Gold and silver prices continued their upward trend on Monday, buoyed by the decline of the dollar, which enhanced the allure of these precious metals as safe-haven investments.
Strong Increase in Gold
Spot gold recorded an increase of 1.4%, reaching $5,029.09 per ounce, following a previous rise of around 4% during last Friday’s trading session. Meanwhile, the U.S. gold futures for April delivery also climbed by 1.4%, settling at $5,051.00 per ounce.
Silver Sees Significant Gains
Silver also exhibited robust performance, appreciating by 2.5% in the spot market after soaring nearly 10% in the previous session.
Other Precious Metals Follow the Uptrend
Other precious metals likewise trended upward. Platinum rose by 1.8%, reaching $2,134.18 per ounce, while palladium saw an equivalent increase of 1.8%, closing at $1,737.75 per ounce.
Investors Await Key Data
