Gold

 

Last year, I carefully monitored precious metal trading during overseas trading in the late evening and into U.S. trading in the early morning hours. The picture at the top of this Weekly Market Report showing a metal war between nations is very accurate. Between China purchasing massive amounts of Gold, India monetizing Silver, the short squeeze in London, and the U.S. raising margin requirements, it was definitely a metals war. 2025 was an extraordinary year for Gold, closing at $4,325.60 per ounce, up $1,695 or 64.48%. Gold closed last Friday at $4,317 per ounce, down $8.60 for the day.

MY NEW YEAR’S GOLD PREDICTION IS: GOLD WILL REACH $5,000 BY THIS JUNESaturday’s Venezuela raid and the capture of President Maduro have added another reason why Gold is likely to rise higher. If Trump can capture the President of a country we have problems with, why not Iran? Also, does this open the door for China to invade Taiwan and take President Lai-Ching-te?

As could be expected, after Saturday’s Venezuelan raid, the precious metals markets soared when trading opened Sunday afternoon. By the time Gold trading opened in China, Gold had moved over $4,400 per ounce, up $83 from Friday’s close.

Key U.S. Economic data to watch this week:
The week of January 5th to January 9th 2026

• Monday, Jan. 5th: December Auto Sales
• Wednesday, Jan. 7th: December U.S. Factory Orders
• Thursday, Jan. 8th: October Trade Deficit, Q3 U.S. Productivity
• Friday, Jan. 9th: December U.S. Employment

Today: The Gold price kept on moving higher as trading rolled into India, England, and the U.S., reaching a high of $4,456.00 per ounce, up $149. The U.S. Dollar dropped on the Venezuelan news.

Silver

 

Last year’s Metal War affected the Silver price more than Gold, physical demand worldwide was at a record level. A combination of the Short-Squeeze and India monetizing Silver drove the price to an all-time high of $82.30 per ounce. Silver closed the year at $70.13 per ounce, up an unbelievable 142% for 2025.

Saturday’s Venezuelan raid is also very bullish for Silver, and the price jumped $3 on the opening of trading Sunday afternoon.

As Silver trading started in China and India, Silver continued to move higher on excellent trading volume. Silver reached a high of $76.34 during trading in India, before seeing some short-term profit taking.

MY NEW YEAR’S SILVER PREDICTION IS: SILVER WILL REACH $85 BY THIS JUNEToday: The Silver price moved higher with Gold in overseas and U.S. trading, reaching a high of $77.87 per ounce, before seeing profit-taking in the U.S.

January 2026 CoinStats

 

I’m proud to provide the January 2026 version of CoinStats free of charge for our clients. It has been updated with current prices and populations for regular and plus grades. Other features on CoinStats for January 2026 are six different series: $20 Gold Saint Gaudens, $20 Gold Liberties, $10 Gold Indians, Morgan & Peace Silver Dollars, and the Walking Liberty Half Dollar.

The CoinStats report provides a list of my recommended certified U.S. Gold and Silver coins, which are found listed on the Best Value page. These are not the modern issue bullion coins or low-grade circulated coins. These are PCGS certified MS63 or higher Gold & Silver U.S. rare coins, dated before 1948, which have a proven track record of appreciation and also offer excellent liquidity.

The January 2026 version of CoinStats has updated populations and prices from PCGS. I have also included information on increases in all PCGS grade populations from issue to issue, plus increases in popular PCGS Registries at the bottom of the Best Value page. As we start 2026, many investment quality rare Gold and Silver coins are undervalued. We have identified them in Red on the CoinStats final page for each type. The precious metals higher there are several rare coins great value. I believe 2026 will be an excellent year for high quality Gold and Silver rare coin collectors and investors.
