While balls and garlands come out of boxes and sparkle in the streets and on balconies, precious metals also shine brightly. Gold is close to its record level, at nearly 4,320 dollars (3,680 euros) per ounce of 31 grams. Silver, for its part, crossed the symbolic mark of $66.89 per ounce on Wednesday, December 17. A historic high.

Under the continued push of speculation, its valuation has been propelled by more than 60% since 1is January 2025.
