Gold and Silver futures surged as the U.S. dollar fell to a 4-year low. Gold futures reached an all-time high with the April contract hitting 5,345, while Silver futures saw increased volatility. Market participants monitored comments regarding the value of the U.S. dollar and potential leadership changes at the Federal Reserve. Interest rate expectations remain focused on the March 18 meeting with a projected 15 bps cut chance. Industrial metals, including Copper futures, faced shifting dynamics as structural deficits in silver contrasted with rising inventory levels and softer manufacturing data affecting copper demand.
