Silver also experienced growth. Bank silver reached a record of 70.37 UAH per gram. Unqualified metal is valued at 66.85 UAH per gram.

Experts note that the increase in the value of precious metals has been ongoing for several weeks. The main reason is the global financial crisis and increased demand for 'safe assets'. According to economists, bank gold is traditionally considered a reliable way to protect savings from inflationary risks and currency fluctuations.

Significant price fluctuations are also observed in international markets. According to Reuters,

4,243 dollars, setting a new record. Precious silver rose to 53.60 dollars per ounce but later partially decreased to 52.88 dollars.

Other precious metals also increased in price: platinum reached 1,669.60 dollars per ounce (+0.9%), while palladium rose to 1,540.25 dollars (+0.3%).

Analysts believe that if geopolitical tensions and financial uncertainty persist, gold prices may rise even further, remaining among safe assets.
