The jump in metals came during comprehensive c<a href=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/index.php\/2025\/12\/02\/wall-street-caution-stocks-steady-crypto-tumbles-fed-rate-cuts\/\">ross-platform coverage of the U.S. market<\/a>, as shared by Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"301\" data-end=\"771\"><strong>GOLD &amp; SILVER METAL RALLY<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"1267\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/index.php\/2025\/11\/26\/weak-dollar-rate-cut-hopes-push-gold-higher-in-asian-trade\/\">Gold futures<\/a> climbed above <strong data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"825\">$4,270 per troy ounce<\/strong>, (approx. 31 gms), marking another strong performance following four consecutive months of gains. This surge brings gold back within reach of its October record high of <strong data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"987\">$4,336<\/strong>, extending what has been one of the metal\u2019s strongest years in recent history.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"1267\">With prices now up <strong data-start=\"1086\" data-end=\"1116\">more than 60% year-to-date<\/strong>, gold has dramatically outpaced the S&amp;P 500 and even overtaken bitcoin, which is currently trading around 9% below its level at the start of the year.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1269\" data-end=\"1655\">Silver followed a similarly powerful upward trajectory.
