Gold breaches $4500, silver $80

ended 29. December 2025

The seemingly relentless gold and silver bull run continues, with the yellow metal breaching $4500 and silver $80 in the past 24 hours. Is this proof that $5000 gold and $100 silver are now looking highly likely during 2026? What's your advice to investors either holding gold and silver and those considering piling in? Thoughts ASAP please as story being written NOW.

Gold hit $4,579 and silver $79 on Boxing Day before slipping back today on profit-taking to $4,485 and $75 respectively. Gold has gained over 70% this year in its best performance since 1979, while silver has risen over 167%. Several analysts now see $5,000 gold as feasible in 2026, given geopolitical tensions and central bank buying, which has more than doubled from historical norms. Silver's $100 target is more speculative but possible due to industrial demand from solar, EVs, and AI infrastructure. For current holders, the structural drivers—central bank accumulation, geopolitical fragmentation, and dollar concerns—remain intact. For prospective buyers, chasing parabolic moves is risky. Consider dollar-cost averaging, waiting for pullbacks, or taking smaller position sizes.

The trend is your friend. I take a quant view on trend and trend strength and right now, the trend couldn’t be stronger. What we must be prepared for naturally is a pull back, which is completely normal in markets, especially strongly trending markets. Investors with no systematic risk management rules will be the ones who only achieve paper gains, or at least considerably lower gains than they could have achieved with rules in place.

The precious metals trade has continued to power through in December with Gold and Silver both rising in spectacular fashion. The Dollar debasement trade is very much still in tact and with the latest restrictions on Silver coming out of China this has helped Silver bulls even more. Currently, I expect Gold to continue rising but Silver to run out of steam on the path to $100, it is always wise to take profits on the way up to manage risk- if we see stabalisation from a geopolitical perspective in 2026, then the current precious metal bull market may come to an end- so as we enter new highs on these metals, I do advise caution.

We’ve seen a sharp rise in people selling unwanted items, but also upwards of 130% increase in those using our pawnbroking service to borrow against their gold and silver assets.

For many of our customers, it means they can use the family silver to now borrow more than twice the amount we could offer at the start of the year.

Whilst many still are taking advantage of high prices to sell unwanted or broken jewellery and silver pieces, we’re seeing a strong trend for holders of this asset class to leverage their gold and silver to unlock short-term cash without losing ownership so they can realise any future growth potential. Those who took that decision earlier this year will already have benefited from the exponential growth.
