Gold Prices Are Back in Record Territory

Most actively traded gold futures contracts rose more than 1%, and recently stood at more than $4,373 a troy ounce.

If that price holds through the end of regular trading, it would set a new record.

The current end-of-day record is a little over $4,359 a troy ounce, set on Oct. 20.

Silver prices aren’t far off a record settlement high, hit on Thursday.
