Amid global uncertainties, gold prices are breaking record after record, with the quarter gold rising to 13,070 lira, reaching its historical peak. This increase, driven by safe-haven demand, is of great interest to both investors and those preparing for weddings.
Gram gold continues to remain in the spotlight of investors with its sharp rise. With the increasing risk perception in global markets, geopolitical developments, and the fluctuations in the dollar/TL, gram gold reached 7,970 lira. In the market, quarter gold was traded at 13,070 lira, half gold at 26,140 lira, and full gold at 52,280 lira.
HISTORICAL RECORD IN SILVER
The rise in precious metals was not limited to gold. The price of silver per ounce broke a historical record by exceeding the 100 dollar level for the first time. It was noted that silver prices increased by approximately 150 percent compared to last year.
DEMAND FOR SAFE HAVEN INCREASING
Uncertainties in the global economy and geopolitical risks have directed investors towards gold and silver, which are seen as safe havens. Experts state that the depreciation of the dollar on a global scale has also accelerated this trend.
BILLION DOLLAR PROFIT FROM THE CENTRAL BANK
Speaking to Ekspres, the President of the Economic Business Development and Planning Association (EKİPDER) and ATSO Presidential Candidate Reşat Güney stated that the rise in gold prices has significant consequences for states as well. Güney said, "The dollar is losing value worldwide. Therefore, countries are increasing their gold reserves to ensure security. The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey also made a profit of approximately 6.5 billion dollars as the price of gold per ounce exceeded 5,000 dollars."
