\"Gold<\/p>\n

Gold rose on Tuesday, December 30, recovering after a sharp drop in the previous session, as low year-end trading activity increased volatility, and traders expect fundamentals to drive precious metals to new highs in 2026. This was reported by Reuters, writes UNN.<\/p>\n

Details<\/h2>\n

Spot gold rose 1.1% to $4378.29 an ounce after reaching a record high of $4549.71 on Friday. On Monday, it fell to its lowest level since December 17, showing its sharpest daily drop since October 21.<\/p>\n

US gold futures for February delivery rose 1.1% to $4392.0 an ounce.<\/p>\n

\n

The fact that we've seen such a significant drop since Monday… it just speaks to the significant volatility, which is likely exacerbated by less active trading conditions due to the holiday season.<\/p>\n

– said Capital.com senior analyst Kyle Rodda.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Gold showed impressive growth in 2025, rising by 66%.<\/p>\n

Interest rate cuts and expectations for further easing of US policy, geopolitical conflicts, sustained demand from central banks, and increased volumes in exchange-traded funds contributed to the rise in gold prices this year.<\/p>\n

Traders expect at least two US rate cuts next year. Non-yielding assets typically perform well in low-interest-rate environments.<\/p>\n

Spot silver rose 3.7% to $74.85 an ounce after reaching an all-time high of $83.62 in the previous session. On Monday, silver recorded its largest daily drop since August 11, 2020.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the year, the metal has risen by 154%, significantly outperforming gold, due to its inclusion in the list of critical US minerals, supply constraints, and low inventories amid growing industrial and investment demand.<\/p>\n

The spot price of platinum rose 3.1% to $2174.91 an ounce. On Monday, it recorded its largest single-day drop in history after reaching a record high of $2478.50.<\/p>\n
