Gold and silver are breaking records as investors flock to safe-haven assets amid market volatility and rate cut expectations. Gold surged above $3,600 an ounce, with forecasts of $5,000 if just a fraction of U.S. Treasuries shift into bullion. Silver also hit a 14-year high, surging past $41 an ounce. Analysts view precious metals as a key hedge against inflation, currency weakness, and economic uncertainty, reinforcing their role as a cornerstone for portfolio diversification.
