Gold: The spot price has risen to approximately $3,542 per troy ounce, marking a YTD gain of about 42% from the January 1, 2025, starting price of around $2,500 per ounce. This aligns with broader market data showing gold up 41.92% year-over-year, but the YTD figure captures the surge from the year's start, including a peak above $3,500 in April.

Silver: The spot price stands at approximately $41.05 per troy ounce, reflecting a YTD gain of about 45% from the January 1, 2025, starting price of around $28.30 per ounce. This outperforms gold slightly, with recent analyses confirming 45% YTD returns amid a projected 149 million-ounce supply deficit and industrial demand exceeding 700 million ounces for the year. Metal Starting Price (Jan 1, 2025) Current Spot Price (Sep 3, 2025) YTD Percentage Gain Gold ~$2,500/oz ~$3,542/oz ~42%

Silver ~$28.30/oz ~$41.05/oz ~45% These figures are derived from real-time market tracking and analyst reports, with silver's higher volatility (due to its industrial exposure) contributing to its edge in percentage terms. Note that YTD gains can fluctuate intraday; for the most precise updates, refer to live spot prices from sources like Trading Economics or the World Gold Council. Investors should consider premiums on physical coins/bars and potential short-term pullbacks, as forecasts suggest continued upside (gold to $3,675/oz by Q4 2025, silver to $45/oz) but with risks from a stronger dollar or resolved trade tensions.

If you had bought gold back in 1976 for $125/oz and held it until now at $3570/oz you would have a gain of 2856% on your investment.
