The precious metals market is experiencing a long-awaited strong performance. The Spot gold price surged over 1.8%, breaking through the $4419 per ounce mark, setting the best annual rise record in over 40 years since 1979. The futures market is equally hot, with gold futures for February Delivery rising 1.4% to over $4446 per ounce.

Silver and platinum followed closely behind. Silver futures for March delivery surged by 3% at one point, reaching around $70 per ounce, before the gain slightly narrowed to 2.5%, ultimately closing at $69.20 per ounce. Platinum spot prices saw the strongest increase, soaring by 4% to exceed $2000 per ounce.

What is behind the push? After the release of the U.S. economic data last week, the market began to reprice the Federal Reserve's policy path. Traders generally expect the Federal Reserve to make two interest rate cuts in 2026. Since precious metals like gold and silver do not pay interest, a rate cut cycle usually enhances their price appeal. This expectation is quietly driving a reallocation of funds from yield-bearing assets to precious metals.

Damn, gold has really taken off! The best increase in 40 years, this data is incredible. Expectations of rate cuts are here, so you know to stockpile gold. Old trick. Silver's 3% rise this round is also pretty good. Feels like platinum is rising the most? 4%. The Federal Reserve is about to loosen monetary policy, everyone. Hurry up and buy the precious metals at the bottom. Breaking through over 4400 in gold, I really didn't expect it. Feels like it can keep soaring. This might really be the start of a big market move. Traders who cut losses, are you regretting it? Assets that don't pay interest are actually more attractive now. Clever move.

The best rise in 40 years, this data doesn't lie, asset allocation should get moving, holding onto chips is the hard truth. Once the expectation of interest rate cuts comes out, funds start to run, this is the underlying logic of the market, those who understand get it, the positions in the multi-signature wallet for precious metals should be strengthened. Gold broke 4419, silver approached 70, this rhythm... has a familiar taste, holding long-term won't lose, the question is whether your private key management is in place. Platinum rose 4% leading the way, this is not an ordinary market, on-chain analysis can't view precious metals but the data can be seen, the risk factor is actually decreasing. This interest rate cut cycle is really appealing, yield assets are too lackluster, asset allocation must tilt towards precious metals, those who have already laid out their plans are smiling in silence. But speaking of which, can the 4446 threshold hold? It still depends on the Fed's real actions afterwards, don't let the market makers whipsaw.
