Silver prices rose above $100 per ounce during Friday's US trading session, marking a daily gain of over 3% and a cumulative weekly increase of 13%. Factors driving the price surge included concerns about the conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, and Trump's pursuit of Greenland on the global stage at this week's Davos conference. Neil Welsh, head of metals at Britannia Global Markets, stated, "Shifting geopolitical dynamics and renewed attacks on the Federal Reserve are prompting a rush to seek safe havens." Analysts noted that the $100 level is a so-called "psychological price point" for silver. Trump's comments about a US "fleet" heading towards Iran spurred investor buying of silver, while also pushing up prices for base metals such as gold and copper. (Jinshi)
