Gold and silver prices are skyrocketing to record levels in early 2026, thanks to escalating global geopolitical tensions – this is the strongest "fuel" pushing precious metals to their peak!
Currently (end of January 2026):
• Spot gold exceeds $5,100/oz (highest in history, up ~17% since the beginning of the year after +60%+ in 2025).
• Silver breaks $100–$109/oz (soaring, significantly outperforming gold thanks to both safe-haven demand and industrial demand).
The main geopolitical causes driving the prices:
• The US-China conflict is escalating with extremely high tariffs (widely applied by Trump).
• US-NATO tensions regarding Greenland, doubts about Fed independence, and moves to "weaponize" the USD.
• Venezuela is chaotic (US intervenes in Maduro), the Middle East remains persistently unstable (Iran-Israel, Gaza).
• Unresolved risks between Russia and Ukraine, plus strong de-dollarization from central banks.
Gold is a pure safe-haven → investors are rushing to buy to preserve assets amid political-economic instability. Central banks are still buying at record levels.
Silver is even more "heavy": benefiting from safe-haven appeal while facing severe supply shortages + huge industrial demand (AI, solar, EV, electronics) → easy short squeeze, many forecasts predict silver reaching $150 this year!
In summary: The more "chaotic" the world becomes → the more gold & silver will "rise"! If geopolitical tensions do not cool down (very likely), the breakout will continue to be the main scenario. Are you holding or preparing to enter? 🔥
