Gold and silver prices have been on the rise in early 2020 as investors turn to precious metals as geopolitical concerns and news of coronavirus hit the airwaves.
The rally in gold has been impressive, with prices surging past $1600 this week (note silver is nearing $18.50).
What’s been particularly impressive about the Gold rally is that it has unfolded despite strength in the US Dollar.
