Gold Prices Rise as U.S. Treasury Yields Decline

This Monday, gold prices rose, buoyed by a dip in U.S. Treasury yields, while silver prices remained stable after last week's significant climb.

Spot gold increased by 0.3 percent to reach $4313.08 per ounce by 0119 GMT. This follows a peak last Friday that hadn't been seen since October 21.

Remarkably, gold has surged over 64 percent since the start of the year, breaking multiple records, positioning it as one of 2025's top-performing assets.

Meanwhile, U.S. gold futures rose by 0.39 percent, reaching $4344.80 per ounce on Monday.

The ten-year U.S. Treasury yields saw a slight decline, enhancing gold's appeal which doesn't generate yield.

In terms of other precious metals, silver held steady in the spot market at $62.02 per ounce. It reached a record high of $64.64 on Friday before a sharp drop.

Last week, silver rose by approximately six percent, bringing its total yearly gains to 115 percent. This surge was driven by low inventories, strong industrial demand, and its inclusion in the U.S. critical minerals list.

Platinum in the spot market saw a slight dip of 0.2 percent to $1741.82 per ounce, while palladium increased by 0.4 percent, reaching $1493.40 per ounce.
