Gold and silver prices have surged to new record highs amid growing global uncertainties and increasing demand for safe-haven assets. Gold reached an all-time high of $2,736.86 per ounce, driven by factors such as the upcoming U.S. presidential election, ongoing Middle East tensions, and expectations of interest rate cuts by central banks. Silver also hit its highest level since late 2012, trading at $34.02 per ounce. Analysts predict gold prices could reach $2,900 per ounce over the next 12 months, supported by continued central bank demand and potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
