This wave of market movement is not just about Bitcoin. Recently, spot gold once surged past $4,530 per ounce, hitting a new all-time high with a daily increase of 1.2%; silver performed even more strongly, rising for five consecutive trading days and recently breaking above the $75 per ounce mark for the first time, reaching a high of $75.14. Platinum was also active, reaching a new high of $2,448.25 per ounce, with a year-to-date increase of approximately 170%.

Market analysts believe that the recent rally since the beginning of the month is mainly driven by two factors. First, continuous inflows of speculative capital; second, structural opportunities brought about by liquidity tightening at the end of the year. More importantly, expectations of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve next year are strengthening, leading to a weakening of the US dollar. Coupled with escalating geopolitical tensions and rising risk aversion, precious metals have become the preferred safe-haven assets.

Looking ahead, analysts are generally optimistic. Gold prices are expected to approach $5,000 per ounce in the first half of next year, while silver may reach around $90 per ounce. Against this backdrop, paying close attention to macroeconomic developments and their impact on asset allocation becomes especially important.

A 170% increase in platinum is truly outrageous; this is the real dark horse. Bitcoin has already been overhyped long ago.

The recent surge in precious metals is truly impressive. I've never seen platinum rise by 170% before. But it feels like this is a lifeboat to hedge against the dollar's depreciation. How much longer can it hold up before the Federal Reserve actually starts cutting interest rates?

Platinum has surged 170%. This data is truly incredible. It’s really the king of safe-haven assets. Wow, is gold really going to hit 5000? I need to increase my holdings. As expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts rise, precious metals are soaring. In the second half of the year, we’ll have to watch central bank policies. Liquidity tightening and geopolitical tensions—no wonder funds are flowing into gold and silver. Approaching 5000 in the first half of next year—this price level is really bold to claim.

Precious metals surge, but the dollar is falling. This logic makes sense... Expectations of rate cuts + geopolitical risks are driving funds into safe-haven assets, no problem. The 170% figure for platinum is a bit outrageous; it feels like a bubble about to burst.

The recent surge in precious metals is truly outrageous, with platinum up 170%, I was stunned. The devaluation of the dollar is really the universal glue.

Precious metals are on the rise this time, but with silver's sharp increase, why does it seem like not many people are paying attention...

The 170% surge in platinum is truly amazing; this is the real safe-haven asset. Bitcoin's fluctuations are nothing in comparison.

Is platinum so strong? It has skyrocketed by 170%, why is no one talking about this? Has silver stabilized at $75? It feels like hitting $90 next year is not a dream. Precious metals have really become a safe haven hard currency, safer than anything else. When the rate cut expectations emerged, gold surged, and the US dollar is really getting weaker. We need to keep up with this move in time; procrastinating will only get you cut. Why didn't I think of platinum? Next time, I need to pay more attention to these niche commodities. When geopolitical tensions flare up, precious metals rise; this pattern is too reliable. By the first half of next year, approaching 5000, I’m a bit hopeful. How high can gold go? It feels like there’s no top. Asset allocation still needs to follow the macro environment; blindly buying will definitely lead to a crash.

Platinum 170%? Now that's a real dark horse, Bitcoin's gains are weak in comparison. As soon as the dollar weakens and rate cut expectations emerge, precious metals go crazy. The logic is so clear. Is the gold price really heading to 5000? I always feel these kinds of predictions are pretty uncertain. I understand the rising risk aversion sentiment, just worried that this wave of precious metal bubbles might burst. Silver at 75 bucks still hasn't hit the ceiling? I need to think about when to buy the dip.

Precious metals have really taken off this time, platinum up 170% is unbelievable. --- The dollar is weakening and rate cut expectations are rising, this is the core logic, right? --- Safe-haven sentiment is rising, and capital is flowing into precious metals, which is very normal. --- I believe gold prices can hit 5000, but can silver reach 90? That's a bit aggressive. --- Liquidity tightening combined with geopolitical tensions, no wonder precious metals are becoming a safe haven. --- Instead of chasing the trend, it's better to think about how to allocate; this is very true. --- Platinum up 170%, I just watch and didn't dare to buy in, afraid of catching a falling knife. --- Gold hitting a new historical high, can it rise that much again next year? That's a bit greedy. --- Speculative funds are pouring in, be careful not to be the last one holding the bag. --- The Federal Reserve's rate cut expectations are the fundamental reason for the rise in precious metals.
