Gold and silver markets faced another eventful week as rising bond yields, mounting debt costs, and shifting global demand kept investors focused on precious metals. Silver finished the week near $64.29 per ounce, while gold closed around $4,285 as higher interest rates continued to pressure financial markets. Meanwhile, China remains a major source of physical gold demand, with imports reportedly on pace to exceed 1,500 metric tons this year. At the same time, eligible gold inventories in COMEX warehouses have fallen sharply, with roughly 4 million ounces reportedly leaving in recent weeks. What could rising yields, strong Chinese demand, and declining COMEX inventories mean for gold and silver markets? Watch the full market update to learn more.
