Main factors influencing the rise of precious metals on 31st

1. Geopolitical factors: on the night of December 29 local time, the U.S. military launched air strikes against a militia organization, people's mobilization organization, active in Iraq and Syria. Rising tensions in the Middle East have triggered market risk aversion.

2. In an environment where more than 70% of national sovereign bonds trade at negative real interest rates, the opportunity cost of holding gold has decreased significantly.
