Gold and silver moved higher last week, with silver closing at $68.81 per oz and gold finishing at $4,608 per oz, as investors focused on mounting U.S. fiscal pressures and developments in the Treasury market. The U.S. national debt officially surpassed $40 trillion, more than doubling since 2017, while rising interest costs continue to place additional pressure on federal finances. Against that backdrop, the Treasury announced plans to double buybacks of longer-dated government debt, initially pushing yields lower before the 10-year Treasury yield rebounded above its pre-announcement level by Friday. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended the government's actions, discussed fiscal consolidation and argued that stronger economic growth can help address America's growing debt burden. Watch Last week’s market update to hear Bessent’s commentary on last week’s Treasury actions and what these developments could mean for the bond, gold and silver markets.

Gold and silver pushed higher again last week, with gold finishing near $4,375 per oz and silver at $64.55 per oz as momentum returned to the precious metals markets. Gold’s breakout from its summer consolidation range has shifted attention toward renewed Chinese demand, elevated U.S. bond yields, and mounting sovereign debt concerns. Meanwhile, silver demand is building across Asia, with Indian ETF buying surging and China on pace to import more than 4,000 tonnes of fine silver in 2026. Against that backdrop, increasingly aggressive forecasts calling for $300 to even $1,000 silver are reigniting debate over how far the next major silver run could ultimately go. Watch last week’s video for the full market breakdown and to review the charts illustrating the gold breakout, Asian silver demand, and the historical price relationships behind these extraordinary silver forecasts.
