Silver prices touched $100 per ounce for the first time in history on Friday, as gold and platinum also reached new record highs amid declining confidence in US assets, driven by geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty.
Spot gold rose 0.3% to $4,951.91 an ounce by 03:58 GMT, after hitting an all-time high of $4,966.59 earlier in the session, extending gains as investors sought safe-haven assets.
