Hey friends, let’s chat about gold and silver prices because wow, they’ve been on a wild ride lately (as of mid-January 2026)!
Gold is sitting pretty around CA$6,370–$6,400 per ounce right now – that’s up about 7-8% just since the start of the year, and a whopping 65-70% higher than this time last year. Silver? Even crazier – it’s rocketing around CA$118–$122 per ounce, up 20-30% in 2026 alone and more than double from January 2025. Talk about shiny gains!
Why the surge? Global uncertainty, inflation worries, and folks hedging bets are pushing both metals to record highs. If you’re holding some bullion or just watching from the sidelines, it’s exciting stuff – gold feels like the steady classic rock star, while silver’s the high-energy breakout act stealing the show.
Either way, these prices make you think twice about that old coin collection in the drawer, right?
