Silver prices surged to $35.60 an ounce on Thursday (6/5), hitting their highest level since February 2012, as weak U.S. economic data and a dovish Federal Reserve outlook fueled safe-haven demand ahead of Friday's nonfarm payrolls report. Beyond economic fundamentals, geopolitical and trade tensions are adding to market jitters. The U.S. has doubled tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50%, stoking fears of renewed trade tensions with major partners. Source: Newsmaker.id
Gold prices fell on Thursday (05/06), supported by easing geopolitical tensions, dovish central bank signals and continued weakness in U.S. labor market data, factors that continued to boost demand for safe-haven assets.
