Gold and silver end higher as softer U.S. data keeps rate-cut bets in play

Gold closed at $4,139.60/oz (+0.32%) and silver at $52.48/oz (+2.49%) as multiple outlets tied the bid to U.S. data that kept expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut alive. Forecast pieces from banks and analysts stayed constructive on 2026, while intraday reports noted mixed economic signals that still left rate-cut thinking on the table.
