PRECIOUS METALS | Global Shift from US Dollar Spurs Precious Metals Demand

Global foreign holdings of U.S. financial assets reached a record $64.1 trillion in the third quarter of 2025, marking a 13.6% increase compared to the previous year. According to NS3.AI, this surge comes as the share of U.S. dollar global reserves fell to 56.9%, the lowest in 32 years. Concerns over U.S. debt and deficit are prompting investors to divest from the dollar, leading to increased demand for precious metals. Analysts forecast that gold and silver prices could rise significantly, potentially reaching $8,000 and $250, respectively, by April to May 2026.
