洞察:
The global commodities market reached a historic milestone on January 26, 2026, as Gold breached the $5,000 threshold for the first time in history. The precious metal climbed to a record high of $5,089 per ounce, marking a 2.5% gain on the day and a total increase of more than 17% for the month of January. This rally was mirrored in the Silver market, where prices rose 6.2% to $109.35 per ounce, representing a staggering 50% surge since the start of the year.
The unprecedented rise in precious metals is attributed to a combination of geopolitical instability and significant weakness in the United States
