Gold and Silver Price Rise Reasons: Due to Price Fluctuations

Geopolitical risks, stemming from unrest in Iran and tensions involving Venezuela and Greenland, continue to drive price changes, in addition to other demand-related factors. Meanwhile, volatility in the dollar index ahead of the US Supreme Court’s decision on tariffs is expected to keep gold and silver prices fluctuating this week. Following a strong rally, silver prices remain significantly above their short- and medium-term averages, indicating aggressive buying pressure. Despite supply constraints, strong industrial demand from sectors such as solar energy, electric vehicles, AI, electronics, and its role as a safe-haven investment are contributing to the upward trend.
