Gold nears $5,000 as silver tops $82 and dollar weakens

Beincrypto reports that gold broke above $4,560, nearing $5,000, while silver topped $82 in a historic rally as capital flowed into hard assets.

The U.S. dollar weakened during recent geopolitical tensions, diverging from its traditional safe-haven role; the U.S. dollar index dipped to 98.53. Analyst Garrett Goggin said, "The USD used to spike higher when the bombs dropped. Not anymore," noting the dollar’s pullback even as metals surged. Economist Peter Schiff said gold had cleared $4,560 for the first time and that silver had jumped above $84, and analysts pointed to silver futures moving into contango—a signal Synnax co‑founder Dario said may reflect corporate hedging and real-economy demand rather than mere speculation.

Debate continues over whether current prices reflect a delayed repricing after alleged suppression: Kip Herriage cited JPMorgan’s 2020 fine and said prices "should have been their current prices 10 years ago." The article also noted Robert Kiyosaki’s projection of silver above $80 by late 2026 and his intention to buy up to $100. Taken together, the metals’ breakouts and the dollar’s muted response suggest markets may be entering a different regime, though readers were advised to verify facts independently.
