Gold strengthened on Monday, December 22, 2025, during the Asian session, rising about 1% to $4,384 per ounce, setting an all-time high.

Silver prices rose on Friday (December 19) and remained near their all-time highs, driven by strong investor interest in safe-haven assets. The weakening US dollar and expectations of lower global interest rates have made silver increasingly attractive, especially amid ongoing economic uncertainty and fiscal concerns.

Brent prices remain under pressure and are headed for a second weekly decline, as the market focuses more on the risk of oversupply than potential supply disruptions. Brent is hovering below $60/barrel (down by >2% in a week), while WTI is hovering around $56/barrel—reflecting the sentiment of "supply is plentiful, demand is not yet strong enough." The main concern stems from the view of major traders that the market could potentially be in surplus by early 2026. Trafigura even estimates that Brent could remain in the $50s until mid-2026 if there are no major disruptions or significant...

On the demand side, demand for silver from the industrial sector remains strong due to its widespread use in solar panels, electric vehicles, 5G, and...
Gold remains supported by global economic data that reinforces expectations of an interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve, reducing real yields and increasing gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset.

However, gold is moving cautiously due to the dollar's recent strength and market sentiment being sensitive to subsequent US economic data. Demand for physical gold and interest from central banks remains strong,...
