Reasons for increase in gold and silver prices
US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on European countries that protested US control of Greenland. Trump said that starting February 1, 2026, a 10% tariff will be imposed on goods coming to the US from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland. Following this, European Union (EU) lawmakers are preparing to block approval of the EU’s trade deal with the United States. Due to increased tensions after Trump’s threats, investors have increased their investments in gold and silver, which are considered safe-haven assets. The increasing geopolitical tension in the global market further fueled this increase. US President Donald Trump warned that if no deal is reached by June, additional tariffs of up to 25% could be imposed on European countries over the dispute over Greenland.
