PRECIOUS-Gold, silver and platinum extend record-setting rally
Mar 11, 2026 1:27 AM

Jan 23 (Reuters) - Gold notched another record high on

Friday, while silver and platinum also extended gains to hit

all-time peaks, powered by geopolitical and economic

uncertainties, a weaker dollar and bets for U.S. Federal Reserve

interest rate cuts.

FUNDAMENTALS

* Spot gold was up 0.5% at $4,961.57 ‌per ounce, as of

0057 GMT, after scaling a record $4,966.59 earlier in the day.

* U.S. gold futures ​for February delivery added 1.1%

to $4,964.60 per ounce.

* EU leaders heaved a sigh ‍of relief over U.S. President

Donald Trump's U-turn on Greenland ⁠as they met ⁠for an emergency

summit in Brussels late on Thursday while issuing a warning that

they were ready ‌to act if Trump was to threaten ​them again.

* Trump for his part said he had secured total and permanent

U.S. access to Greenland in a deal with ⁠NATO, whose head said

allies would ‍have to ​step up their commitment to Arctic security

to ward off threats from Russia and China.

* But the details of any agreement were unclear ‍and Denmark

insisted its sovereignty over the island was not up for

discussion.

* U.S. consumer spending increased solidly in November and

October, likely keeping the economy on track for a third

straight quarter of strong growth, but the labor market is still

stuck in what economists and policymakers have termed a

"low-hiring, low-firing" ​state.

* The ‍dollar index fell to a more than two-week low

on Friday, making greenback-priced metals cheaper for overseas

buyers.

* Markets still anticipate the Fed ​to deliver two

quarter-percentage point rate cuts in the latter half of the

year, raising non-yielding gold's appeal.

* Spot silver rose 0.9% to $97.01 an ounce, after

hitting a record high of $97.44 earlier.

* Spot platinum gained 1.4% to $2,665.85 per ounce

after hitting a record $2,684.43 earlier, while palladium

edged 0.1% lower to $1,917.50.
