Silver's on a tear—crossed back above $79, and we're barely a week into January. That's already a 10%+ pop just days into the new year. Gold's matching the momentum, pushing past $4,470 this morning.

Here's what caught everyone's attention: precious metals already had an incredible 2025—best year since 1979. So naturally, the question everyone's asking now is whether this rally can actually sustain into 2026. The data's starting to suggest it might. When you see this kind of early-year strength combined with that kind of historical backdrop, it's worth paying attention to how traditional safe-haven assets are behaving in the current macro environment.
