In October 2025, purchase prices for bank metals increased in Ukraine. The NBU adjusted the price of gold and silver, responding to global market trends where both precious metals reached historical highs. This was reported by 24 channel.

Gold continues to rise: a gram of the highest purity bank metal (999.9) currently costs 5,580.73 UAH. The regulator also reviewed the prices of other categories:
-
gold that needs to be refined to quality standards - 5,563.99 UAH/g;
-
metal that does not meet the requirements of bank metals - 5,524.92 UAH/g.

The increase has also affected silver. Bank silver has set a new record - 70.37 UAH per gram. And metal that does not meet banking requirements is valued at 66.85 UAH per gram.
Experts note that the trend of rising prices for precious metals has persisted for several weeks. The main reason is global financial instability and demand for "safe assets". Bank gold, according to economists, is traditionally viewed as a tool to protect savings from inflation and currency fluctuations.
Increase in gold prices worldwide
Global markets are also experiencing a price surge. According to Reuters, an ounce of gold reached 4,243 dollars, marking a new historical maximum. Silver rose to 53.60 dollars per ounce on Tuesday but slightly decreased to 52.88 dollars.
Other precious metals have not stayed aside either: platinum increased by 0.9% to 1,669.60 dollars per ounce, and palladium by 0.3% to 1,540.25 dollars.
Analysts expect that if geopolitical tension and financial uncertainty persist, gold may rise even further in price, maintaining its leadership among safe assets.
Earlier, we reported that in Ukraine the price of bank gold has increased. In "PrivatBank", the price of ingots in the fall of 2025 reached record levels - from 6,920 UAH per gram in the smallest category to 564,000 UAH for a 100-gram ingot.
