Gold and silver prices amid the COVID-19 pandemic.: CS45-28/1-2020-10E-PDF

"There is still considerable economic uncertainty as the COVID-19 pandemic spreads. As investors look for safe heavens, the price of unwrought gold and gold alloys reached its historical high in March 2020 according to the Industrial Product Price Index (IPPI). It gained 4.7% from February 2020 and 28% when compared with March 2019. A somewhat different picture emerged for the price of unwrought silver and silver alloys, which declined by 12.6% between February and March, but rose by 1.6% on a year over year basis."
