Precious metals extend rally on safe-haven demand amid Venezuela turmoil
Precious metals surged close to their previous high as Fed members’ dovish comments increased interest rate-cut bets and Venezuelan tensions boosted safe-haven demand.
Precious metals surge on Venezuela news
Silver surged over 6% to $76, while gold rose beyond $4400, extending gains after the US bombed Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro over the weekend, raising geopolitical concerns and increasing demand for safe-haven commodities.
Precious metals kick-start the New Year on a strong note.
Precious metals began the New Year with gold climbing 1% and silver rising 3%, extending their surge after huge gains in 2025, as geopolitical worries and optimism for lower interest rates this year kept safe-haven demand strong.
Gold and Silver Outlook for 2026
Gold surged 75% in 2025 and silver over 170%, driven by global monetary easing, geopolitical and tariff uncertainty, US fiscal stress, strong ETF and central-bank buying, and a structural shift in portfolio allocation. Tight silver supply, booming industrial demand, and policy risks reinforced a historic, structurally supported precious-metals bull market. Check out what lies ahead in 2026..
Silver retraces down on margin hike pressure
Following a parabolic run that saw silver reach a high of $84 on December 29, the market had a severe correction, losing more than 15% of its value in just 48 hours.
Gold and Silver set for best annual gain since 1979
In 2025, gold has risen by 65% and silver by 150%, indicating a year of tremendous gains and positioning the precious metals for their best yearly performance in more than four decades.
Gold and Silver retreat from highs on margin increase
Gold and silver experienced the biggest volatility, plunging more than $200 and $12 in a single day from their highs, respectively.
Silver crosses $80 (~Rs 250,000) mark.
Silver has been on a massive rise, reaching $80 (~Rs 250,000) today, up 16% last week, 40% this month, and 175% by 2025. This rise has been fueled by speculative inflows, residual supply disruptions from an October short squeeze, central bank buying, ETF inflows, and three Federal Reserve rate cuts, with markets gradually pricing in another easing in 2026.
Precious Metals continue Santa rally
Gold prices have risen to $4550 (up 72% year on year) and silver to $72 (up 140% year on year), setting new records, fueled by anticipation of further Fed easing and increased geopolitical tensions.

Gold prices surpassed $4500 (~Rs 138,000) for the 50th record-breaking session this year, while silver reached a new high of $70 (~Rs 216,000) due to expectations of looser US monetary policy and rising geopolitical tensions.
