Gold Jumps 1.84% to $4,342; Silver Climbs 3.55%

The move is notable less for its size than for its breadth: silver's gain is roughly double gold's, and copper joined the rally, suggesting a broader hard-asset bid rather than a single safe-haven trade. The timing — acceleration after 20:00 Beijing time and a sharp session high shortly after — points to a concentrated window of buying rather than a gradual repricing, which can fade as quickly as it appears. Whether silver keeps outpacing gold, and whether copper's participation holds, is the open question for anyone tracking the industrial-precious split.
