Gold and silver prices have surged to new record highs on January 12, 2026, with gold surpassing $4,600 per ounce for the first time and silver reaching a new peak above $84.5 per ounce.

-Interest Rate Expectations: The market is increasingly leaning toward lower US interest rates, which reduces the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like precious metals and makes them more attractive.
-Central Bank Demand: Global central banks continue their aggressive gold-buying spree, purchasing over 1,000 tonnes annually in recent years to diversify their reserves away from the US dollar, providing a strong underlying support for prices.
-Silver-Specific Drivers: Silver is experiencing a significant supply squeeze due to surging industrial demand from the solar panel and electronics industries, which is creating a structural deficit in the market.
-Volatility: After substantial gains in 2025 (gold +67%, silver +147%), prices are experiencing heightened volatility, with sharp pullbacks possible even within the overall bullish trend.
