Gold prices continued their upward trajectory today, marking a fifth consecutive session of gains driven by rate cut expectations, safe-haven flows, and U.S.–China tensions. Spot gold reached $4,217.39 per ounce, earlier peaking at $4,241.77. According to ANZ, gold might aim toward $4,400 by year-end. Meanwhile, silver slipped 0.5% to $52.78 amid gold’s rally and market repositioning in precious metals. Strong inflows into gold-backed ETFs and central bank purchases also lent support to the precious metal’s momentum.
