Gold, silver, and platinum have reached record highs due to geopolitical and economic uncertainties, a weaker dollar, and expectations of U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Spot gold rose 0.5% to $4,961.57 per ounce, while silver and platinum also saw significant gains. The dollar index fell, making metals cheaper for overseas buyers, and markets anticipate further rate cuts, enhancing gold's appeal. U.S. consumer spending remains strong, contributing to economic growth despite a stagnant labor market.
