Precious Metals Surge to Records

Precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum are becoming much more expensive.

Gold has gone up over 70% this year, silver over 150%, and platinum over 160%.

These metals are used in jewelry, cars, and electronics.

People are buying more of them because they are seen as safe investments, especially with the uncertainty in the world.

There isn't enough of these metals to meet the demand, which is also pushing prices up.

Silver has even become more valuable than Apple, the big tech company.

Some experts think these metals will keep going up, but others warn that prices might go down sharply after such big increases.
