On November 12, 2025, gold prices rose 2.4% to $4204.40, the third-highest close ever recorded, while silver achieved a new record high with a 5.4% increase. This surge in precious metals is closely linked to the positive sentiment surrounding the expected reopening of the U.S. federal government, which has been under a shutdown. The anticipation of further interest-rate cuts this year has also contributed to the rise in base metal prices, indicating a broader market response to economic conditions. As investors react to these developments, the gains in gold and silver reflect a shift in market confidence, highlighting the interconnectedness of government policy and commodity prices.
