Metals Market Report: Gold, Silver, Platinum All Post Strong Gains

February was a good month for metals with the Global Precious Metals Monthly Metals Index rising 7.36%. Gold continued its record-breaking run, reaching $2,942.70 per ounce, prompting major institutions to raise their forecasts – UBS now projects a peak of $3,200, while Goldman Sachs targets $3,100 by year-end.

Silver has also shown significant strength, climbing to $32.80 per ounce on combined safe-haven and industrial demand.

Palladium led percentage gains with a 9.17% increase to $976 per ounce, despite facing market uncertainty from Trump Administration tariffs and production changes at Sibanye Stillwater.

Platinum maintained steady growth with a 6.63% increase to $965 per ounce, supported by projected supply deficits through 2025 and growing automotive and industrial demand. The overall market strength reflects ongoing economic uncertainties, geopolitical risks, and strong central bank buying activity.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
