Article Synopsis
Gold and silver prices surged in August, adding nearly $5 trillion in combined market value, driven by Treasury bond-buyback measures, geopolitical tensions, and persistent inflation concerns. Silver has outperformed gold as strong industrial demand from AI infrastructure, power grids, and electronics combines with an ongoing supply deficit. Meanwhile, continued central-bank gold purchases, stabilizing real yields, and a weaker U.S. dollar could provide further support for precious metals.
