Gold and Silver Prices Rebound, Fueled by Strong Demand and Market Activity

London, UK – Gold and silver prices surged on Monday, recovering from a dip and reaching new milestones as trading activity intensified in global markets. Gold hit a new all-time high at London’s 3pm bullion auction, reaching $4346 per Troy ounce, while silver prices rebounded after a recent drop, driven by industrial demand.

The surge in precious metal prices was fueled by a combination of factors, including increased trading volumes on the US Comex and Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE). Silver futures trading on the SHFE hit their highest level since May 2024. Analysts point to continued demand for hard assets, coupled with a tight supply outlook, as key drivers behind the price increases.

“Silver is being underpinned by continued demand for hard assets and a tight, price-supportive supply outlook,” said the Strategy Team at Saxo Bank.

Gold-backed ETF trust funds are also expanding, indicating renewed investor interest. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSEArca: GLD) and the iShares Gold ETF (NYSEArca: IAU) saw net investor inflows, returning to levels seen at mid-October record prices.

As markets approach the Christmas holiday, attention is shifting to upcoming central bank meetings in the UK, Eurozone, and Japan, as well as key economic data releases, including US employment figures and the Consumer Price Index. These events are expected to influence market sentiment and potentially impact future precious metal price movements.
