Palladium Jumps Over 6% as Gold Reaches $4,000 and Silver Hits 2011 Peak

Spot gold soared to a record $4,150 per ounce, while silver surpassed $53 for the first time, extending 2025’s strong rally in precious metals.

Fact Check
The statement is well-supported by the evidence. A Reuters article confirms gold surged 'above $4000' and that silver and palladium experienced 'upsized gains' concurrently. Kitco data shows gold trading near this level ($3,984) and silver at a price ($50.47) consistent with its 2011 peak. Another source confirms palladium experienced a jump greater than the one stated ('over 10%'), making the entire statement credible.
