Renewed tensions between the United States and Russia have resurfaced following an incident involving an oil tanker, sparking market concerns about potential disruptions to global energy supplies. Washington's move, associated with tightening oversight and enforcement of sanctions on Russian oil shipments, is viewed by Moscow as provocative and could worsen relations between the two countries. Russia views these actions as an attempt by the United States to suppress Russian energy exports and strengthen its dominance in the global oil market. Meanwhile, Washington argues that these measures...
Silver remained weak on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, after falling to the $46-$48 per ounce range. Selling pressure arose because the global market was risk-on: sentiment regarding the US-China trade deal has caused investors to seek less safe-haven assets like silver and instead invest more in stocks and riskier assets. Profit-taking after the previous price surge also hindered silver's rapid rise. However, fundamentally, silver is not yet completely bearish. Expectations of a Fed rate cut remain supportive, as lower interest rates are generally good for precious metals. Furthermore, silver...
Silver fell to around $48 per ounce, continuing its correction after falling more than 6% last week. Safe-haven sentiment weakened as the market grew more confident that US-China trade relations would ease ahead of the Trump-Xi meeting. The US said 100% tariffs were almost certainly canceled, and China was prepared to withhold rare earth exports for a year. As global tensions eased, hedging interest also declined. At the same time, the Fed is expected to cut interest rates this week after US inflation data softened. Lower interest rates are usually good for precious metals like silver...
Gold is under pressure again as global markets enter risk-on mode. Signals of peace on the US-China trade front have reduced investors' need for safe haven assets, leading to a correction in gold prices after a major rally. However, this is more of a relief trade deal than a complete bearish one, as gold's annual price remains high, and government debt, currency weakness, and central bank purchases remain key drivers. Going forward, the key focus will be on the Fed's interest rate. If the Fed cuts interest rates, this would be bullish for gold, as holding gold becomes cheaper than holding...
Silver fell on Friday, October 24, 2025. Spot prices moved in the range of $48-49 per troy ounce, slightly weakening from the previous day after significant volatility earlier this week—even falling sharply after hitting a new record above $54. The pressure came from profit-taking and caution ahead of tonight's US inflation release, prompting buyers to wait. Several media outlets also noted that silver prices rebounded, but volatility remained high after the sharp mid-week correction. The price of silver at the time of this analysis was released was $48,561. Disclaimer: This article is...
Gold in the Asian session on Friday (October 24th) tended to be flat around $4,130/oz after a sharp correction yesterday (spot prices briefly fell to near $4,090 before stabilizing again). Volatility remains high, so the market is focused on that intraday range. Key fundamentals: the market is awaiting the FOMC meeting on October 28-29th (many anticipate an interest rate cut) and the CPI inflation release on October 24th, both of which could move the dollar/yield and the direction of gold. Supporting the larger trend, demand for gold from central banks remains strong this year. The gold...
