As economic uncertainty intensifies amid the prolonged U.S. government shutdown and weakening job data, gold prices have surged to a three-week high, reaching above $4,100 per ounce on November 11, 2025, marking a nearly 3% daily gain and contributing to a 57% year-to-date rally. Investors are flocking to precious metals as safe-haven assets, fueled by expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in December to combat potential tariff-driven inflation. This rally underscores broader market volatility, with analysts warning of spillovers to tech stocks, such as Nvidia, dropping nearly 3% to $193 amid supply chain fears from proposed 15-20% tariff hikes on imported components.

Precious Metals Rally: Gold and Silver as Safe Havens Amid Shutdown Fog

Gold futures climbed to $4,155 per ounce, recovering from recent lows and posting a 5% weekly gain amid the economic drag from the 45-day government shutdown. Silver also soared to $53 per ounce, reflecting a broader precious metals rally as investors seek protection from uncertainty. The shutdown has led to flight cancellations, lost wages, and stalled data releases, clouding economic outlooks and boosting haven demand. Weakening job data further fuels this trend, with gold's 57% YTD surge outpacing many assets.

Fed Rate Cut Bets: December Probability at 65-70% to Counter Tariff Inflation

The Fed recently cut rates to 3.75-4%, signaling more easing in 2025 amid cooling employment. Tariffs could add 15-20% to import costs, stoking inflation and prompting monetary policy responses.
