Silver prices followed gold's gains in the European session on Tuesday (10/12), trading near $31.90 and hitting an intraday peak of $32.04. The metal's safe haven status and close correlation with gold have supported its gains. Market uncertainty surrounding geopolitical instability and U.S. economic policy has boosted silver's appeal as a store of value.

Coupled with concerns about potential inflation stemming from Trump's...
