Silver Continues Its Rise Locally and Globally… 800 Silver Reaches EGP 51.25
Waleed Farouk
Silver prices recorded a notable increase in local markets during Saturday's trading, boosted by global gains in the white metal, which hit its weekly peak at $36.78 per ounce, according to Safe Haven Hub.
Locally, 800 silver climbed to EGP 51.25 per gram, while 999 silver reached EGP 64, and 925 silver stood at EGP 59.25 per gram. Meanwhile, the silver pound (925) was priced at EGP 474.
Despite escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, silver closed the week with a slight decline to $35.93 per ounce, as some investors took profits after a strong rally that pushed prices above the $36 mark.
Globally, around 80% of silver demand comes from key industrial sectors such as solar energy, automotive, and electronics. With sustained strong demand, and despite potential cooling due to higher prices, silver maintained its upward momentum.
Over the past month, silver has gained nearly 9%, or about $3, while the past three months saw a 13.56% increase, equivalent to $4.30. Since the beginning of 2025, silver prices have jumped by approximately 25%.
On a longer-term basis, silver has more than doubled in value—by 102%—since January 2020, when it traded at $17.92 per ounce. Its historical peak was $48 in 2011, while the lowest level recorded since 1990 was $3.55 in 1991.
In another development, Citi Bank analysts maintained their bullish outlook on silver, projecting the price could reach $40 within the next 6 to 12 months, and potentially $46 by Q3 2025, supported by tight supply and sustained industrial demand.
At the same time, gold prices stood at $3,369 per ounce, placing the gold-to-silver ratio at 93.79:1—meaning one ounce of gold is currently equivalent to roughly 94 ounces of silver. This historically high ratio suggests that silver may still be undervalued relative to gold, which could support further upside.
Despite ongoing speculation about U.S. monetary policy, silver continues to benefit from an environment of economic uncertainty and regional geopolitical tensions. As a result, investors remain cautiously optimistic, carefully weighing geopolitical catalysts against monetary pressures in global markets.

In a statement, the company announced the launch of a comprehensive development strategy built on five core pillars. These include revising operational and credit policies to better align with market needs, streamlining processes for greater efficiency, clearly defining organizational responsibilities, and implementing a modern corporate structure to enhance institutional performance. The results have already materialized in strong financial indicators: GlobalCorp's real estate finance portfolio reached EGP 3.8bn during its first year of operations, and the company has served over 1,850 clients to date. It also raised its capital by EGP 75m, bringing total paid-up capital to EGP 325m.

Mohamed Abdel-Wahab, CEO of GlobalCorp Real Estate Finance, noted that the company is executing a clear, structured plan to expand its real estate finance portfolio and enhance funding capacity through strategic collaboration with banks and financial institutions. 'Our achievements in just one year reflect a serious commitment to sustainable growth. Diversifying funding and investment channels is essential to maintaining financial stability and responding effectively to the increasing demand for real estate financing,' Abdel-Wahab said. He also highlighted the company's investment in a specialized, integrated technology system to manage real estate financing operations. The platform ensures data accuracy, accelerates transaction processing, and advances the company's full digital transformation agenda.

Rector of Bauman Moscow State Technical University Speaks about Technological Co-op within BRICS
Nada Mustafa Mikhail Gordin, Rector of Bauman Moscow State Technical University, stated that scientific and technological cooperation between BRICS countries is of critical importance, according to TV BRICS. He spoke about this in an exclusive interview at the TV BRICS studio in the Roscongress International Cooperation Area at St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2025. "The BRICS countries and their partners are states that can jointly develop new technologies. The most important thing for these countries is technological independence, technological sovereignty, which is valuable in itself," Gordin emphasised. According to him, Russia's technological sovereignty is "the ability to survive on its own," and for BRICS partners, it is the ability to maintain independence by using solutions from different sources. "This is a very good way to maintain sovereignty, to be able to take developments from more than one source," he noted. Gordin also spoke about the experience of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University in this area. He noted that the university cooperates with a number of BRICS countries, in particular China, including participation in conferences and joint scientific developments. In addition, the university has established ties with countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), some of which are BRICS partners. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Director for International Cooperation at REC: Russia Is Ready to Develop Commodity Exchanges within BRICS
Nada Mustafa BRICS spans almost all continents, and each member country is capable of producing competitive goods. This was stated by Anton Tsetsinovsky, Director for International Cooperation and Development at the Russian Export Centre (REC), in an exclusive commentary at the TV BRICS studio in the Roscongress International Cooperation Area at St. Petersburg International Economic Forum ( SPIEF) 2025, according to TV BRICS. He emphasised that the foundation of sustainable cooperation within the group lies not only in product supply but also in the development of deeper cooperation, including transport and logistics connectivity, industrial collaboration, the transition to settlements in national currencies, and the insurance of mutual deliveries. 'The initiatives currently under discussion, such as the creation of commodity exchanges in key sectors like metallurgy and agricultural production, are forming a foundation for sustainable trade and industrial cooperation within BRICS,' said Tsetsinovsky. According to him, Russia is ready to enter foreign markets not only with its products but also with technological solutions. One of the priorities is the localisation of Russian developments in partner countries, which will ensure a sustainable presence in those markets. Tsetsinovsky noted that in today's changing global economy, multifactor and multivector cooperation is essential. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
