Since the beginning of 2026, the precious metals and industrial metals markets have been bustling — gold, silver, copper, tin, these commodities have been breaking new historical highs one after another, with a rapid upward momentum.

The underlying logic is actually quite clear. The expectation of a Fed rate cut is growing stronger, coupled with a noticeable rebound in global financial market sentiment, leading to continuous inflows of hot money into the commodity markets. Gold benefits from the dual advantages of safe-haven and inflation hedging, with persistent demand; silver is somewhat awkward yet clever — it carries the halo of precious metals while also benefiting from industrial applications, gaining from both sides; as for copper and tin, with the restart of global infrastructure projects and the recovery of the semiconductor industry, their actual demand is climbing steadily.

Opportunities are real, but don’t get carried away. The rapid rise in metal prices often hides market volatility risks at turning points, so you need to keep a close eye.
