Gold Breaks $4,600 as Safe‑Haven Demand Surges; Oil and Copper Rally in 2026 Commodity Markets

Commodities opened 2026 with strong momentum, led by record-setting metals, firmer oil prices, and softer agricultural markets. Gold broke above $4,600 on safe-haven demand and central bank buying, silver surged on industrial and defensive use, and copper remained elevated amid structural supply shortages. Oil edged higher on Middle East supply risks, while grains lagged after bearish USDA data. Against this backdrop, crypto platforms like BingX launched TradFi trading, allowing investors to access commodities alongside crypto as volatility and cross-market interest build early in the year.
