Demand for silver continues to rise sharply, driven primarily by the technology, electric vehicle, and solar power sectors—where silver is highly sought after due to its superior electrical conductivity.

This provides a strong fundamental basis for the potential...
Gold consolidated near a record, falling slightly to the $3.62k–$3.64k/oz range after an earlier surge triggered by weaker-than-expected US PPI.

Gold prices are currently rising on Wednesday (September 10th), driven by growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its meeting next week. Weaker-than-expected US economic data, including revised Nonfarm Payrolls and a weakening labor market, further strengthen the argument that the central bank needs to loosen policy to maintain growth. Declining US bond yields are also making gold increasingly attractive as a hedge. In addition to monetary factors, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and increasing global uncertainty are also supporting the rise in...
