Missed Gold's record-breaking run? Keep an eye on Silver [Video]

At the beginning of the year, analysts at GSC Commodity Intelligence officially dubbed 2025 “The Year of Gold” – And now it's becoming clear why!

Fast forward three months to the present day and definitive evidence shows that Gold is not just having a great year. But in fact, the world's favourite precious metal is having its best year ever.

As Gold prices resume their epic run, scaling new all-time record highs on a back-to-back monthly basis – it's fair to say that we're watching history been made as the yellow metal continues to charge towards new unprecedented heights.

There is no denying, that there has been considerable excitement in the Gold market this year with the price soaring above $3,057 an ounce for the first time ever. However, according to analysts at GSC Commodity Intelligence trader’s attention is now shifting to Silver on rising expectations that the grey metal is on the verge of a major breakout.

Since President Trump's inauguration in January – Gold prices have been on a parabolic run – climbed more than $350 within the President’s first 50 days back in office – to score new all-time record highs – not once, not twice, but on 19 separate occasions, so far in 2025.

Interestingly, Gold has outperformed every other major asset class since President Trump's inauguration including Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500, the Magnificent Seven Stocks and Bitcoin.

Gold is not the only precious metal delivering meteoric returns this year.

Silver has also been on a blistering run, climbing almost 20%, so far this year – And this could just the beginning!

The gold-to-silver ratio, which measures how many ounces of Silver it takes to buy one ounce of Gold has typically ranged between 40:1 and 70:1 over the past century.

However, when it rises above 80:1, Silver has often experienced sharp and unstoppable upside momentum. Currently, with Gold soaring past previous all-time highs and Silver lagging behind – the imbalance suggests that Silver could be on the verge a major breakout.

Last week, Silver rocketed above $34 an ounce to hit its highest level in more than 12-years.

Now Silver stealth bull run has come out of hiding – there’s no denying that the precious metal is capturing the world's attention like never before.

In a note to clients, analysts at GSC Commodity Intelligence wrote “that the last time Silver prices broke above $34 an ounce – the precious metal went onto trade at $50 an ounce that very same year.  If this is a leading barometer for predicting the future performance of Silver prices, then this ultimately means one thing.

Silver prices are going a lot higher from here!

EUR/USD holds firm above 1.1900 as US NFP looms

EUR/USD holds its upbeat momentum above 1.1900 in the European trading hours on Wednesday, helped by a broadly weaker US Dollar. Markets could turn cautious later in the day as the delayed US employment report for January will takes center stage. 

GBP/USD remains above nine-day EMA near 1.3650

GBP/USD recovers its recent losses from the previous session, trading around 1.3680 during the European hours on Wednesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a sustained bullish bias, as the pair trades within an ascending channel pattern.

Gold sticks to gains near $5,050 as focus shifts to US NFP

Gold holds moderate gains near the $5,050 level in the European session on Wednesday, reversing a part of the previous day's modest losses amid dovish US Federal Reserve-inspired US Dollar weakness. This, in turn, is seen as a key factor acting as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the critical US NFP release. 

US Nonfarm Payrolls expected to show modest job gains in January

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the delayed Nonfarm Payrolls data for January on Wednesday at 13:30 GMT. Investors expect NFP to rise by 70K following the 50K increase recorded in December.

S&P 500 at 7,000 is a valuation test, not a liquidity problem

The rebound from last week’s drawdown never quite shook the sense that it was being supported by borrowed conviction. The S&P 500 once again tested near the 7,000 level (6,986 as the high watermark) and failed, despite a macro backdrop that would normally be interpreted as supportive of risk.

BNB prolonged correction signals deeper bearish momentum
BNB (BNB), formerly known as Binance Coin, is trading below $618 on Wednesday, marking the sixth consecutive day of correction since the weekend. The bearish price action is further supported by rising short bets alongside negative funding rates in the derivatives market.
