Global precious metals markets reach historic milestones as the total market capitalization of gold rises to $35 trillion, while silver climbs to $6 trillion. The surge reflects sustained investor demand for hard assets amid geopolitical risk, inflation concerns, and volatility across equity and currency markets.
Gold’s valuation underscores its role as the world’s dominant store of value, supported by central bank accumulation and long-term strategic allocations. Silver benefits from both safe-haven demand and its growing industrial use, particularly in energy transition technologies and electronics.
Combined, the market value of gold and silver now stands at more than nine times the capitalization of Nvidia, highlighting the scale of investor rotation toward tangible assets compared with even the largest technology companies.
