Good evening,

After soaring more than 78% this year, the value of silver reached a record Monday. The last all-time high occurred four decades ago. However, some experts warn it may be a riskier trade than gold.

These precious metals are seeing a surge amid “elevated” uncertainty around U.S. economic policy in President Donald Trump’s second term, Goldman Sachs commodities strategist Lina Thompson wrote earlier this year.

Gold prices hit an all-time high last week, surpassing the $4,000 threshold for the first time.
