Silver Prices Hit Record High Amid Global Economic Uncertainty

Global silver prices have surged to a new all-time high amid growing economic uncertainty in international markets.

According to a report by *The News*, silver has crossed the $75 per ounce mark for the first time in history, while gold and platinum prices have also reached record levels. In the global market, silver prices rose by 3.6 percent, pushing the rate to $74.52 per ounce.

So far this year, silver prices have recorded a massive increase of 158 percent. Since the end of June, the price of silver has nearly doubled, reflecting strong investor demand.

Experts attribute the sharp rise in silver prices to increased demand from AI data centers, electric vehicle manufacturing, and its use as a hedge against inflation.

Meanwhile, according to an international news agency, spot gold prices rose by 0.6 percent to $4,505.03 per ounce, after previously touching a new all-time high of $4,530.60 per ounce.

Platinum prices have also seen a significant surge, with an increase of nearly 158 percent during 2025. Analysts note that gold and silver have witnessed their strongest annual gains since 1979, highlighting renewed investor interest in precious metals amid global financial volatility.
