The prices of gold and silver are doing well this year. Silver soared to a high of $29.75 this month, much higher than last year’s low of $20.73. The increase in silver price lagged behind the increase in gold price, as reflected in the rising Gold/Silver ratio since the middle of the month.

 

Gold'r rise to all-time high!

Gold's rise to all-time highs above $2400 per ounce this year has captivated global markets. China, the world's largest producer and consumer of the precious metal, is at the forefront of the extraordinary ascent.

Worsening geopolitical tensions, including war in the Middle East and Ukraine, and the prospect of lower US interest rates all burnish gold's reputation as an investment. But juicing the rally is unrelenting Chinese demand, as retail shoppers, fund investors, futures traders, and even the central bank look to bullion as a store of value in uncertain times.

The People’s Bank of China has been on a buying spree for 17 straight months, its longest-ever run of purchases, as it looks to diversify its reserves away from the dollar and hedge against currency depreciation

Chinese demand could continue to rise as investors look to diversify their holdings with commodities, BI analyst Rebecca Sin said in a note.
