Fed independence fears and geopolitics boost metals
"Gold climbed to fresh records as a range of supportive factors converged. They include geopolitical risks, elevated fiscal uncertainty, strong central bank demand, and ongoing concerns about inflation and monetary credibility."
"The US Justice Department threatened the Federal Reserve with a criminal indictment, reviving concerns over the central bank’s independence. The dollar fell, boosting the prices of metals.

"Gold surpassed $4,600/oz in yesterday’s trading, while Silver surged past $85/oz. Silver has already climbed around 20% so far this year, following an almost 150% surge last year. This has pushed the Gold/Silver ratio below 60, the lowest level since 2013."
