Silver Clears $100 as Gold Near $5,000 in 2026 Metals Rally
TL;DR Summary
Silver rose above $100 per troy ounce for the first time (settling near $101.33), gold hovered at about $4,979.70, and platinum hit a record $2,741.30 as a broad precious-metals rally persisted in early 2026. The run is driven by lower U.S. interest rates, a weaker dollar, and persistent fiscal deficits, with Goldman Sachs lifting its year-end gold target to $5,400 per ounce, signaling strong demand for haven assets.
