Gold and Silver Prices Hit Record Highs

Gold and silver prices reached record highs today after threats of prosecution against the U.S. Federal Reserve by the U.S. Department of Justice fueled fears about the institution's independence and demand for safe-haven investments. Gold jumped to $2,600 per ounce and silver touched $85 per ounce for the first time, after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell denounced "political pressure and intimidation" from President Trump following the Department of Justice's announcement against the Central Bank.
