Silver Rises Over 120% YTD 
Gold continues to dominate commodities trading, reaching a peak of $3,500 per ounce in April and currently trading around $3,320. Investors are pouring money into gold-backed ETPs due to uncertainties surrounding Trump’s trade tariffs, economic policies, and global geopolitical risks. While JP Morgan projects gold to exceed $4,000 within a year, some analysts are growing cautious.

HSBC’s technical analyst warns that gold’s price has diverged significantly from its 200-week moving average, suggesting potential consolidation ahead.
